Somewhere in the distance I hear a crow sing Darkness settles on my soul as the toll bells ring And I sit here in my room as I block out the night The tremors start to come while I'm filled with fright The footsteps are approaching coming down the hall I try to get out of bed but all I do is fall The footsteps stop, there's a rapping at my door I try to get up with this pain, I still hit the floor The copman has cometh with the answer to this pain I get up off the floor and answer him in vain He says he is here to help me get by He leaves me alone so I can get high I stand here with tremors, staring at the wall Wondering if I do have a problem after all The answer to the problem is the drug itself Not to take this drug and put it in myself I lay back in bed blocking out the light As the darkness settles in and I lose my sight I lay here as I start to go numb As I wait to die, I know no one will come And somewhere in the distance I hear a crow sing The Angel of Darkness comes to my room, the toll bells ring
