Death Is Near

Hush, I am not scared
Don't shed those wild tears of fear
I know death is near
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
Theres fear written all over your face
Be happy though I am
My time is almost here
My clock has ran out
The battery is almost dead
I've served my purpose here
Now carry on after me and enjoy your years to come
Don't be scared or hold fear
This is all in the plans of life
And my time is up
Yes I know death is near and I'm not sad or mad
I hold no sorrows or grudges
I asked for forgiveness
Now you do the same
Don't fear the reaper
For the Angel of death stands by waiting
Say your goodbyes now
For I have to go
