time to cut my silver thread

I find myself this lonely man
struck down from the crowd.
There's only one thing I can hear
and that's the ringing in my ears.
I came to this distant land
hoping to find the man I am.
Lost in the time before
battling the cries of never more.
They left me here a broken dream
bleeding by this open stream.
As my life flashes before my eyes
my heart lifts and I hear my sighs.
Flying up through the clouds
I can feel the warmth of the light.
Guiding me to the promised land
never got a chance to fight the good fight.
Looking down at what once was me
all the lost hopes and possibilities.
Now it's time to cut my silver thread,
no turning back...no going home,
for you see I'm...dead...dead...dead !
