As I awaken   Born from the slums and taken   Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity   And mastery of me   And my surroundings counting down the days till I'm exposed,   "i hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose   Till one day you're face to face you're gonna cross the line   You're lost for time   Life lose diminished   Heart beat finished replenish   Now you can be one with the light   But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night      Hook:   So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight   Cause when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night   Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right   But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night   For real we take 'em away   They take 'em away   We take 'em away   They take 'em away   We take 'em away      Verse 2:   I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane   It stains the seal to let me know life is real   Sustain and build and and maintain a force field   I use it in a time of need when it's hazzardest   As it is said   Be defensive at all time for instance   As soon as I'm elevated out of existence   I am no more   I can soar   Right on the back of an eagle   Or look eye to eye with a beetle   But now I am engaged   In none other than the physical form in which I'm caged   Such lawlessness involved in this charade   Tainted face painted black   "is that the end momma? can't I come back? "   No your train stops here   Right where the rain drops appear   Next stop inbetween the ears   Objection to make you cirular   Work you just enough so you can work yourself      Hook      Verse 3:   Overly anxious can't just wait   To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate   It's inevitable there's no escape   There's no mistake   Every time a life is given it's another one you have to take   Then your electricity and and your energy's released   Born into another soul after your physical's deceased   May you forever rest in peace   Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent   You will cease to be no more   The war has been won   The warrior is rested and your duty here is done   Just when you think you're having fun   It'll snatch you up and run   For a second you appreciate the sun   For a half a second you appreciate the stars   For a half a second you reflect on who you are   And what you where   And in a flash it's all a blur      Hook      Outro:   Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death   The way I look at it it's three basic elements right?    Die, dying, dead right? die, dying, dead. death becomes you says the crow to   The cheetah because you're an old cat. see you seem a little under the   Weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.   "well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to   Find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. you'll just be a few   More steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything that's   True and living, that's life driven is given a final shock boy. frankly   Speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. every atom, organism,   Insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "death becomes you," says the   Armadillo to the crow, "oh you oh you are gonna die."
