As I've walked through The valley of the underworld With death lurking close behind You see the smile on my face Might be replaced With my screams of please Take pity I am ignorant It's my prayer The faces I have known They all have stranger's eyes Within this inhuman world I've beaten death all my life And I will not deny The existence of some faith When I'm about to die It's my prayer Take me away some other day Since I have seen it My scars reveal That I'm not ready to burn Since I have seen it My scars reveal That I am not ready to burn
