As You Live Your Final Night

I AM DEATH I SEEK YOU IN THE MOURNING
I FIND YOU AT NIGHT
I HAVE NO LOVE FOR YOU ONLY FRIGHT
TAKE MY HAND AND LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
I CALL FOR YOU AND YOU MUST ANSWER
THE DAY APPROACHES AND I DRAW CLOSER
TO TAKE YOU AWAY LEAD YOU TO YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
THERE MAY BE A HEREAFTER YOU WILL KNOW
LY DOWN IN YOUR GRAVE AS IT BEGINS TO SNOW
YOUR BODY IS COLD AS MY HEART
TAKE MY HAND AND LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT 
TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH AS YOU LIVE YOUR FINAL NIGHT
