Death Keeps Knocking
Death stands knocking at my door
"Go away" I scream, "Go away"
But he chooses only to ignore
And not listen to what I say
He keeps peering through my windows
Looking for a way, to enter in
While making subtle innuendos
About the kind of person I've been
Ever knocking, he will not leave
Trying to get my attention
His subliminal messages I receive
That tells of his evil intention
I keep hearing him knocking, every hour
He will not let me sleep
Holding me captive, with his evil power
Ever chasing my soul to reap
Knocking, knocking, knocking
His cadence is driving me mad
My fear, he's continuously mocking
Envading what dreams I've had
Then his knocking suddenly disappears
As silence now rings in my head
Maddness has overtaken my fears
Or death has won, and I'm dead
