Death Came |
| I was called to the rolling banks by the water |
| To bathe in the river of truth |
| The river tried to pull me under |
| And refused to turn me loose |
| I was called to read from the bible of life |
| And I read from beginning to end |
| Every page and every line |
| Still I could not comprehend |
| Death came, death came |
| And gave you his kiss |
| Death came, death came |
| And took you away from this |
| Oh, I miss you so and I long to know |
| Why death gave you his kiss |
| I tasted the fruit from the tree of knowledge |
| And I ate from dawn till dark |
| I was sated, but not satisfied |
| Until I carved my name in the bark |
| I was called to drink and was seduced |
| By the sweetest, ripest berry |
| I quenched my thirst with the red juice |
| Still I found no sanctuary |
| Death came, death came |
| And gave you his kiss |
| Death came, death came |
| And took you away from this |
| Oh, I miss you so and I long to know |
| Why death gave you his kiss |
| Death came, death came |
| And gave you his kiss |
| Death came, death came |
| And took you away from this |
| Oh, I miss you so and I long to know |
| Why death gave you his kiss |
| I miss you so and I long to know |
| Why death gave you his kiss |
