Shadow Of Death

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
