The Years of Death and Dying
I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
When you won't think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
Petty things won't matter
Just ask the man in black
The rage is gone and so is Bon
So young in their demise
I ended the eruption
I took them in their prime
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the way
I'm here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay
I turned Ziggy into stardust
I've been killing ever since
I took an eagle from the sky
I even killed a Prince
Struck down the queen, bid farewell to kings
I took the angel of death
I'm always at the ready
To take away your breath
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
When you won't think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
Petty things won't matter
Just ask the man in black
The rage is gone and so is Bon
So young in their demise
I ended the eruption
I took them in their prime
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the way
I'm here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay
I turned Ziggy into stardust
I've been killing ever since
I took an eagle from the sky
I even killed a Prince
Struck down the queen, bid farewell to kings
I took the angel of death
I'm always at the ready
To take away your breath
I'm a force of nature, pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
