Untimely Demise - Far from Grace

On the streets
Where it is dark and cold
No money left to borrow or steal
You have found yourself alone
Run from the law
Scrapping by everyday
And fond, distant memories
Seem miles away

Injection/ Cerebral seduction
Killing the pain
But just for today

Living on the fringes of society
Enduring endless abuse
By the predator's hand
Trading your soul one trick at a time
Seeking out the fix that leads to decline
No solace will be found
In this race to oblivion

(Chorus)
You were a shining ray of light
But you have fallen so far from grace
You meant everything to me
But you have fallen so far from grace

In the morgue
Where your body lies
The lord hath taken away
The angel of my dreams
Your innocent smile
Is washed black and gray
And I continue to pray
That we will meet again some way

The flesh has fallen
Your beauty will not go forgotten
Succumb to temptation
The pleasure morphed to pain
