I think that death has come for me
I see him in the shadows there
He say he wants me to be free
I ask why is it that you care

Knowing that he'll win one day
knowing that I'll lose the fight
Knowing that he'll make me pay
He stalks around me day and night

And so he beckons on to me
It's not so bad here in the shade
I only want you to be free
And I am just the price that's paid

The price of freedoms very high
The price was set so long ago
And i have nothing that can buy
A single minute from my foe


Knowing that he'll win one day
knowing that I'll lose the fight
Knowing that he'll make me pay
He stalks around me day and night
