    Prelude To Oblivion

    by: Viper

    Cruel reality
    Wears away our will to live
    All the world will look at me
    And hold his breath too hear my speech
    So when I leave this world unfair
    They will cry for me and understand
    I just can't find my way
    Or meaning to my life
    World will remember?
    Not at all
    And take my example?
    Not at all
    Am I wrong?
    Yes! Because the world won't take example
    From somebody who won't fight
    For better days and hide away
    Not facing problems in their life
    To be alive is the best way
    That we must show mankind
    We want a better world for all
    I ask all the world
