I saw the shadow I heard his voice whisper my name I felt the chill of reality When your spirit went away I felt the tears running down my face I knew he smiled as I felt the sting My mind raced as I heard his deceit Death robbed your family today I felt my stomach sink The pain, the suffering I felt the chill of mortality As I watched your color fade I closed my eyes and I saw your face I felt it burn into my memory It's a picture I can never erase Death took my father away Life is short Death is coming Life escapes But death comes hunting Every man, born of flesh Will take with him, nothing What he leaves, memories That will be his legacy Face the trials Face the pain Face the fears Your final breath, drawing near Death is a thief Death steals for keeps Death is coming There is no escape But death is not your destiny Death is a thief, death steals for keeps Life is, life is Life is, life is Life is short Death comes hunting Some men die now, some men die later Some men live for reasons beneath them, some live for greater At the moment of my death As I take my final breath Fatality! Not a moment left And I step into eternity Into eternity Will I be afraid? What will await me? Will I see my father, my family? This life I lead, will it matter at all? Buried six feet deep, body wrapped in pall I feel the shadow It's coming for me Do I really believe Death is not the end
