Kiss of Death

Just come kill me now

Kill me in my sleep

Just make it fast

Make the stab deep.

Our time is gone

It's time to leave

From you the kiss of death

Is what I shall receive.

The pain I feel

Is not pretend

The ache is so bad

It cannot mend.

You sneak in

While I sleep

Into my head

Unconsciousness only so deep.

As you stab my chest

My path has been set

And you watch me dying

Having no regrets.

And as you're walking away

It sets up the scene

Then I wake up

With a blood curdling scream.
