I've come upon this quicksand, I started going down. I grabbed in all directions, there's nothing all around

And I keep sinking deeper, keep slowly sinking deeper, and calling out hoping someone might be near.. hey does anybody know I'm here?

I've fought in battles I don't start, severed from head to toe. the will to live now destroyed.. but who had been the fool?

Now life is slowly fading, I guess everything is fading. it's all been in vain, so I'll shed a tear... hey does anybody know I'm here?

I'm leaving my legacy behind, my life forgone gobs of pain. my canvass ablaze with trumpets, of angels, lords and saints

All I knew outside this room, this distant and dismal room. though they'll be known in some future year... hey does anybody know I'm here?

This cyclone that I'm riding, seems headed for a crash. could dive into some plain, I could blow up in a flash

And on here I am stuck, on here we're all stuck. is it possible to end this ride of fear..? hey does anybody know I'm here?

I keep sinking deeper, keep slowly sinking deeper, and calling out hoping someone might be near.. hey does anybody know I'm here?

I've fought in battles I don't start, I'm severed from head to toe. the will to live now destroyed, but who had been the fool?

Now life is slowly fading, I guess everything is fading. it's all been in vain, so I'll shed a tear... hey does anybody know I'm here?
