The fight to stay on deaths doorstep until your loved ones are there to see you off.
Stray from the light,
that comes in the night.
To steal you from,
those who will come.

Wake in the day.
To show them the way,
so you may be near,
all those you hold dear.

Fight with the light.
that comes in the night.
Fight as he tries,
to silence your goodbyes.

Wake in the day,
so that you may say,
to shed no tears.
you've lived your years.

slip into the light,
that comes in the night.
to take away your pain,
till none remains.

Sleep in the day,
for you've passed away.
Your worries have ceased
so rest in peace.
