I'm mortal

I wish to cast off my mortality
And lay it down to rest
Forever disconnected
From the heart now in my chest

Slip from my existence
Like a cozy winter coat
And travel down the river Styx
In Charon's solemn boat

Pass on my possessions
To a more deserving soul
This flesh and bone will crumble
In a dark and lonely hole

I’ll cause no further trouble
For my deeds will all be done
I can no longer stumble
For eternity has begun
