thrust the dagger deep

i thought i now had come to die

just a cold corpse

my farewell

until i suddenly gasped for air

and the tears so softly fell

if not

fate thinks more of me

than chiming the bells at noon

grasp the handle by all means

and thrust the dagger deep

call it revelation or curse

should i tremble or should i cheer?

the shadows dancing across the walls

a mockery ever so clear

if it's written that under the sun

it's time for me to sleep

grasp the handle by all means

and thrust the dagger deep

when the final dawn is here

silent and oh so steep

grasp the handle by all means

and thrust the dagger deep
