all will face death
this is a certainty
there is no escape
from death's sea

we'll crumble to dust
beneath the ground
we'll be ever buried
in an earthen mound

in darkness we'll lay
for eternity
we'll not have
a light with which to see

death is permanent
death shall come
death is waiting
for everyone

at any moment
we could be called away
called away
for an infinite stay

death shall knock
at our door
it may well knock
this day upon our door

the death knell
is ringing
yes it is true
the death knell is ringing
for me and for you

no escape
no chance of a way out
the endless caravan of death
is ever about
