Necrophobic - In the Twilight Grey

I saw my demise
I held the key to Hell in my hand
The dream was real for a short moment in time
The chill of that night never wore off
I almost crossed the gate when I heard the bells chime

Have you been where I am
Where a once vivid world has become silent
Have you answered the call from the other side
So peaceful yet violent
In the twilight grey

I don't grieve
I celebrate
When the days were bright, I was there
I don't grieve
But now it's late past twilight grey and I'm still here

Maybe this is not me
But a shadow of the past
An impostor trying to be
Painfully knowing this won't last

Maybe one cannot return
When the flames have begun to char the bones
Maybe I'm bound to burn
The flames might be gone but I still feel the glow

It's not my time just yet
But I would lie if I'd say I'm not eager
The dreams of death are still here
And my wish to wake is meager

Out-worn heart, in a time out-worn
Come clear of the nets of wrong and right
Laugh heart again in the gray twilight
Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn

And God stands winding His lonely horn
And time and the world are ever in flight
And love is less kind than the gray twilight
And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn

The call
From beyond
Is getting stronger
Been waiting far too long

The force
From below
Can't wait no longer
And so, my time is gone
