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
