Death Grip

You Looked So Pale and Lifeless As You Lay So Still in Bed When Death Struck You That Blow And the Doctor Yelled "Code Red!" Doctors Came from Everywhere And I Heard Them Say, "Stand Clear!" Terror Crawled All over Me As I Watched in Total Fear They Took Me Away from You And I Went down on Bended Knee I Prayed with All My Heart and Soul For Death's Hold to Set You Free I Shall Never Forget the Day That I Looked Death in the Face If I Lived One Hundred Years The Memory I Cannot Erase Something I Never Told You And it Still Holds True Today When I Said Those Prayers I Offered to Go and to Let You Stay But Neither of Us Was Taken And We're Still Here Today We've Been Through So Many Things But on Death We Had Our Way
