on a moonless starless night
awakened in such utter fright
i started walking in despair
there wasn't time to even care...

i could see others, but not their face
as i walked along in quiet pace
a mist appeared, questions filled my brain
where i was going, would there be pain?

was i alive or was i dead?
voices echoed, crowding my head
was this my end, i did not know
was i to reap what i did sow?

i climbed aboard a midnight train
as i was lead in my vain
my life was now forever thwarted
for i was among the dearly departed
