Creeping Death

MY LIFE WAS NOT EXITING

BUT ALSO NOT REALLY FRIGHTING

I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE THINGS

WHATEVER FUTURE BRINGS

EXPECTED SURELY TO LIVE FOREVER

AT LEAST FOR ME TIME’S RUNNING SLOWER

THIS CHANGED WITHIN SOME PAINFUL DAYS

THERE WOULD BE NO REDEMPTIVE WAYS

UNHEALABLE BUT FAST DISEASE

NO DRUGS WERE FOUND THE PAIN TO EASE

WHEN NIGHT COMES DOWN, FROZEN INSIDE

I’M PETRIFIED, I CANNOT HIDE

THIS AGONISING CREEPING DEATH!

HOW CAN I STAND THIS ON MY OWN?

OH MY GOD, IS THIS YOUR DRESS?

PLEASE DON’T LET ME BE ALONE!

THE PHYSICAL DECAY IS CLEAR

THAT’S NOT WHAT I DO REALLY FEAR

BUT WHAT IS UP WHEN ALL IS DONE?

WHAT AWAITS ME, WHEN I’M GONE?

I’D GLADLY TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST

ETERNAL LIFE AND PARADISE

BUT IT IS SO HARD FOR ME

WHAT WILL I SEE, WHAT WILL THERE BE?

NOW IT IS NEAR, THE LAST GOODBYE

THERE’S NO TIME LEFT TO ASK YOU WHY?

THIS AGONISING CREEPING DEATH!

HOW CAN I STAND THIS ON MY OWN?

OH MY GOD, IS THIS YOUR DRESS?

PLEASE DON’T LET ME BE ALONE!
