The Stringless Violin

Now the time [bad word] to face, my untold fears 
Every waking hour, drained me through the years 
So that I'm not one with myself my strength, my gift 
Is destined to be forgotten 
I have seen the world begin, 
in the mirror of the past 
I pray the life giving force 
still holds the strength, to last 
As i lay dying 
I understand, 
The reason for my life 
My fear slips away, the new world begins. 
In a darkened corner 
The horror that waits for me prey's on my only success 
Save my innocence 
Keep the darkness from my door 
I have seen the world begin, 
in the mirror of the past 
I pray the life giving force 
still holds the strength, to last 
As I lay dying 
I understand, 
The reason for my life 
My fear slips away, the new world begins.
