Analysis of The Throughts Of A Dying Man
I reach out for a helping hand but only find mine to hold
This must to the punishment for the lies I've told
I have danced with both side but rather remain on the tracks
For death stares me in the face and there is no turning back
The time I once had haves past me by
I no longer have time to wait and die
I shed no tear that the end is near
But smile at the life I have lived
I regret nothing I done and everything I did
Yet they are the same, my regret I can no longer change
I have destroyed more lives than i have saved
And remember them all to well
These are the thoughts of a dying man
That beads you all farewell
