Death comes in many ways What if these were my last days Who knows when death will come knocking at your door Who will pick you up off the floor My doctor said that I had six months to live What else but my life, could I give I knew that I was going to die What else could I do, but cry I kept saying to myself why You have but one and only life What was I going to tell my wife I was sick laying in bed Many thoughts were running through my head I knew death was coming soon I would rise up to the sky like a balloon My mother called me on the phone I told her that I would die alone

1000 Ways to Die
Death comes in many ways What if these were my last days Who knows when death will come knocking at your door Who will pick you up off the floor My doctor said that I had six months to live What else but my life, could I give I knew that I was going to die What else could I do, but cry I kept saying to myself why You have but one and only life What was I going to tell my wife I was sick laying in bed Many thoughts were running through my head I knew death was coming soon I would rise up to the sky like a balloon My mother called me on the phone I told her that I would die alone
