There will come a day When they’re not so young and free They will be old and decayed Bound by chains of death, you see But for now let them play With one another Because soon it won’t be that way They’ll be without each other Teach them to hold onto the hope Because overtime it will fade Teach them to hold on to that rope Because soon it will be frayed Let them live, love, laugh Let them catch their breath Don’t tell them it’s a trap That they’ll be caught by chains of death Even though I am now here You must not be afraid You must not summon fear For I am going to stay There’s nothing you can do to stop me No more hopefulness inside I’m like a bird - once caged, now free I will catch you, there is nowhere for you to hide For I am living Death Now have one last smile Have one last breath Because, little child I am living Death
