The sun does rise the sun does set, another day goes by One day closer one more day, to the day that you will die - Long ago when you were young, death was far away In a mirror now behold, your gray hair is here to stay - Your youth is gone your eyes are dim, you need a cane to walk The people that you meet, you they only mock - Very soon, all to soon, you will breathe your last Your life will be snuffed out...your memory has past - Where will you go then? To Heaven or to Hell? You'll go to Hell to burn! Forever there you'll dwell - You lived in wanton greed, in debauchery and lust With your soul you will now pay, your gold has turned to rust - Death is at the door, for you he will not knock Your rotting caucus will lay cold...Grim Reaper will not baulk

Rich Man
The sun does rise the sun does set, another day goes by One day closer one more day, to the day that you will die - Long ago when you were young, death was far away In a mirror now behold, your gray hair is here to stay - Your youth is gone your eyes are dim, you need a cane to walk The people that you meet, you they only mock - Very soon, all to soon, you will breathe your last Your life will be snuffed out...your memory has past - Where will you go then? To Heaven or to Hell? You'll go to Hell to burn! Forever there you'll dwell - You lived in wanton greed, in debauchery and lust With your soul you will now pay, your gold has turned to rust - Death is at the door, for you he will not knock Your rotting caucus will lay cold...Grim Reaper will not baulk
