cut off from the world and feeling blamed
taken from my pleasures and left shamed
useless like a puppet and thrown to the floor
despised like an outcast and then shown the door

broken promise bringing pain
standing rejected in the rain
kept away from happiness
all that's left is nothingness

come and take my life... take it away
I can't defend from the darkness today
he comes up from the depths
his name is death

standing for a purpose and crashing down
the meaning escapes me and I leave town
they wait by the gates and shut them tight
return the next day and they show their might

beaten into silence by the blows
I feel sick as my awareness goes
the darkness surrounds and I'm out
it seems this is my final bout

come and take my life... take it away
I can't defend from the darkness today
he comes up from the depths
his name is death

commited a crime and brought to court
arguing my case and reading the report
treated like a criminal and given no chance
taken to the prison and serving the sentence

strange looks coming my way
I cross dangerous paths today
spend the night curled in bed
maybe tomorrow I'll be dead

come and take my life... take it away
I can't defend from the darkness today
he comes up from the depths
his name is death
