Around me the shadows gather
A dagger falls upon my neck
A fatal strike that brings a slow death
In agony I cry out
While my blood drips to the thirsty earth
I am slowly slipping away
While the shadow watch me in pain
They are laughing,
Telling me that I will soon join them
At last my heart is no longer beating
I am no longer alive
