I Am Death

Walking into an endless track,
Where everything is dead,
If I wanted to turn back,
Death wouldn’t let me.

But I knew I couldn’t go back now,
It was too late,
Well I just have to say,
That is my fate.

My cure is death,
My days are over,
Death’s shadow will follow me forever,
I can never fight death.

That is how it was written,
And that is how it goes,
Death was awaiting me,
And now I am death.
