| When you first entered into Life's world of Power | N |
| and Lies did you ever think you were contributing | O |
| to your own demise I think not | P |
| - | |

| Love aborted pain abounds Your flesh once caressed | A3 |

| Only you God can read me true | D |
| - | |
| Never a year will escape me now for I will live forever | N |
| Awake in the midst of Insanity and sleep deep beneath | F3 |
| the burning coals of HELL | G3 |

| In the midst of my Dreams I was awakened by harsh | H3 |
| Reality | C |
