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."
