Death Came

I was called to the rowing 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, 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

A tasted the fruit from the tree of knowledge and I ate from dawn 'til dark

I was sated... 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 fond 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
