Angel of Death
You see me everyday yet you seem to turn your head, I can be found everywhere,
on the streets, or in a bed.
Sometimes I even come at night when you are sleeping. After I have come and
gone I will surely leave your family weeping.
Sometimes there are others that will aide in my arrival, other times I come on
slowly as you struggle for survival.
I am a very patient man so for you I'll surely wait, For just like everyone else I
meet, with me you'll get a date.
To some I'm simply known by the nickname "The Grim Reaper", to others I'm
better known as the one and only "Hell's Gate Keeper".
If you manage to escape me the first time that we meet, when it's
time to come for you I will not be discreet.
I'm sure you will recognize me when we meet up on our date, remember
I'm a patient man, but try not to be late.
