Death Is Waiting

In the stillness of the night I feel its cold embrace Death waits patiently its presence I can't erase Whispers in the shadows a silent tolling bell A specter in the darkness waiting for my soul to dwell Death is waiting at the edge of my bed Its icy fingers reaching for what lies ahead In the twilight hour where dreams unfold I feel its presence as my story's told In the echoes of my fears I hear its mournful call A reminder of my mortality standing tall Every breath I take brings me closer to its grasp A dance with destiny in this eternal gasp Death is waiting at the edge of my bed Its icy fingers reaching for what lies ahead In the twilight hour where dreams unfold I feel its presence as my story's told But I won't cower in the face of its might For life's a journey a relentless fight I'll embrace the unknown with courage in my heart Facing death's shadow I'll play my part Death is waiting at the edge of my bed Its icy fingers reaching for what lies ahead In the twilight hour where dreams unfold I feel its presence as my story's told
