Oh Death has my time come?
You took my kind, left me behind, please take me home.
I'm done with this old life please take me home.
My lonely grave calls out to me
Heaven or Hell to call my own, I'm coming home.
Who cheated Death 'cause death cheated me?
You stare into the face of God while man just stares at me.
Lord strike me down!
This accident of surviving you see me as a failure.
I feel you looking down.
Sing to my maker somewhere...
A bullet bears my name, come take me now.
For every shot that rang out not one was your sound.
Not entitled to what you felt owed to you
Condemned to see another sun.
Matriarch abandoned.
Commend her spirit to your hallowed ground.
The light of understanding.
The silence when you're not around.
Holy Father I pray
You wrap my brothers in your warm embrace.
When my time comes I won't go quiet.
Even in death I'm second place.
You took my kind, left me behind, please take me home.
I'm done with this old life please take me home.
My lonely grave calls out to me
Heaven or Hell to call my own, I'm coming home.
Who cheated Death 'cause death cheated me?
You stare into the face of God while man just stares at me.
Lord strike me down!
