Lyrics Longing for Oblivion - The 11Th Hour

Longing for Oblivion

I think I’ve made my peace
Said my last goodbyes
It’s time to lay down and die
Nurse sits and reads
My lungs breathe no more
I’m at the mercy of life support
Feel your presence here
Hands around my wrist
As I succumb to sweet
— drug induced bliss
How I long for oblivion
Sister morphine, take me in your care
You remind me of someone I used to love
Before the tears and the years took her away
It’s out of my hands
The drugs are taking over
As I drift from consciouness
To die and fade away
Never known another day
Leave this vessel cold and frail
A blood red sun is rising now
On my final morning
I embrace what’s coming
