[m. van Dyk: l. van Dyk/Schooling]

As I lay dying I saw the eyes

The eyes of God. Thy kingdom come

A force so strong pulled me along

As I lay dying

As I lay dying I laughed as I

Had never laughed before

At circumstance and the evened score

As I lay dying

As I lay dying I touched the air

Felt the chill, the blinding stare

Of my mind's eye, began to cry

As I lay dying

As I lay dying I felt so strange

Although I bleed, I feel no pain

And just like life it seems insane

But now I'm dying

Look at your soul in the mirror

Every choice you've made is etched upon its face

Epitaph carved by your actions

Are we searching for a different state of grace?

No one is sure of the answer

Is this just a waiting room for something else?

How can you measure life?

Is it something we must lose to find ourselves?

Will it just go on

After I am gone?

I saw above my heaven

And beneath as well

The threat of hell

Will my sins be forgiven?
