Internal Landscapes - Anathema

And I felt myself going
I was in a great deal of pain
It was a very frightening experience I began to slip
I just started to feel myself going
And I remember trying to hold on 'I'll be ok
I'll be ok and it got to a point
Where I just couldn't
And everything began to just become very quiet
And I can remember with every ounce of strength I had
I wanted to say goodbye to my wife
It was important to me
And I did
I remember just turning my head
And looking at her and saying
I'm gonna die Goodbye Joan
And I did
It was then that I experienced
Experienced what we call a near death experience
For me it was nothing near about it
It was there
It was a total immersion in light
Brightness
Warmth
Peace
Security
I did not have an out of body experience
I did not see my body or any one about me
I just immediately went into this beautiful bright light
It's difficult to describe
As a matter of fact is impossible to describe
Verbally it cannot be expressed
It's something which becomes you and you become it
I could say that I was peace
I was love
I was the brightness
It was part of me
Goodbye my friend
Life will never end
And I feel like you
And I breath on truth
Love is the life breath of all I see
Love is true life inside of me
And I know you somehow
As I hold you in my heart
In my heart
There's a fire in the sky
And I know it's you
There's a light
It's all around
And I know it's you
I know it's you
And I feel like you
Cause I breath on truth
For I was always there
I will always be there
It's just so beautiful
It was eternity
It's like I was always there
And I will always be there
That my existence on earth was very brief
Instant
I could say that I was peace
I was love
I was the brightness
It was part of me
