Death's Rhythm

Death's Rhythm Death beats a steady rhythm Sounding loud within my chest Starting at the time of conception So strong and powerful It counts down second by second You try to really live your life Doing things that make you happy Finding the love that God gave you No matter what you can do No mater what you can say You cannot plead your case Death still beats a steady rhythm All you can do is live for the moment Ignore the steady pounding in your chest Forget that time is short and precious Live, love, enjoy what you are doing Then when Death's rhythm stops You can laugh in his face Taunt him for eternity Tell him that you lived a good life That you have been happy Tell him that you have made others happy Then, as final words, tell him you are ready You have no regrets Then get your wings and enjoy eternity Always remember that you lived And that you had a good life That is all you will ever need
