Shadow of Death
Every second of every day it gets closer
Always behind us like our own shadows
No matter how fast we run it runs faster
Knowing that it can catch us whenever it wants
But it just lets us live longer
Laughing
At
our
Fear
Until the day it's had enough and swallows us whole
The Shadow of Death
