Why must death take me this day
Sadly my life will soon be done
Knowing it has come to take me away
In this cold dark sky today
Wanting ever so for the sun
Why must death take me this day
Getting closer and closer as I do lay
Remembering when I was so young
Knowing it has come to take me away
My life crumbling as dried up clay
Sadly leaving my life undone
Why must death take me this day
May it come fast I do so pray
The dead I will slumber among
Knowing it has come to take me away
For eternal sleep I will forever stay
Death I have now forever clung
Why must death take me this day
Knowing it has come to take me away
