Lyrics
Death Be Thy Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you're least expecting my call
Or at the end - life descends - olden age you fall
Just remember i'm a promised fact
There's no way around fate - no secret pact
Many through the ages they have tried
Believe me that i know - they all failed & died
Death be thy name/death be thy name
Death be thy name/death be thy name
Searching for an ancient tale or myth
Read it on a book or heard it from the wind
Takes you to the edges of the earth
Even try to steal it from the newly breathed
But your efforts are a waste of time
You can't hide forever - you'll still be mine
Aarghhh i'm coming to get you:
Now the scientist misunderstood
Can't make immortality inside a test tube
I don't know if i should laugh or cry
Take it as an insult or credit you're trying
But for now the old saying holds fast
He who laughs the longest is he
Who laughs last
