I heard the call and knew I had to come
There's no peace with a price on your head
It's different for me than it is for some
I know I've always been just one step ahead
This meeting was written before I was born
A destiny foretold in the stars
Now we meet when I'm weary and worn
Here in this place, of all the bars
A greeting from you is not the same as a friend
Something that I don't know how to take
Never did I think of the possibility of an early end
But I now see it, after your cold and icy handshake
Around you have always been
Picking off the fallen pieces of people's lives
We all know you'll come, but not when
We meet you with somewhat relenting sighs
In my twenties, I prayed for you
Yet, never did you come
Heartbroken and defeated, not knowing what to do
Now, looking back, I was just dumb
Desperation wreaks havoc and then comes peace
Just as one finds themselves its cut short
You bring us to our knees
Sitting with you, we develop a report
As time grows short, do you decide to reap
Is it my time
Is it my soul you will keep
Not ready to go, until I know it's all going to be fine
Rage grows inside
Building up with all my might
From my rage, you cannot hide
It's building until you're out of my sight
It's too early, too soon to go
21 things left to do
Too many things I have to know
I'm not sorry, but I can't go with you
Finish your drink, they're on me
Then be on your way
I'm sticking around, or don't you see
Ah, Death, my day will come, but not this day
