Air Hunger - Demo
Don't let me linger in a hospital bed
Decrepit and barely able to raise my head
With dried-up veins and hungry for air
Losing my mind and confined to a chair
Don't keep the reaper waiting if he's at the door
If I'm already a corpse what are we stalling for
When it's my time to go let me leave like lightning
Because being dead is easy
But dying is frightening
I remember Charletta
She was always a fighter
She raged against the dying of the light
And despite her condition
She persisted until she finally got what she wanted
Now the bed she occupied is probably haunted
Don't keep the nurses waiting on edge every night
Thinking this could be my last breath when it just might
When it's my time to go I hope I leave like lightning
Because being dead is easy
But dying is frightening
Decrepit and barely able to raise my head
With dried-up veins and hungry for air
Losing my mind and confined to a chair
Don't keep the reaper waiting if he's at the door
If I'm already a corpse what are we stalling for
When it's my time to go let me leave like lightning
Because being dead is easy
But dying is frightening
I remember Charletta
She was always a fighter
She raged against the dying of the light
And despite her condition
She persisted until she finally got what she wanted
Now the bed she occupied is probably haunted
Don't keep the nurses waiting on edge every night
Thinking this could be my last breath when it just might
When it's my time to go I hope I leave like lightning
Because being dead is easy
But dying is frightening
