Looking Into Death's Eyes

Death is knocking on my door
I sit alone in shadows of solitude
He opens the door and slowly
Approaches reaching his skeletal 
Hand out to take me away 
Except I have a revolver for life
He looked at it, before the bullet clears

This made me smile a little. Do you, or don't you outsmart Death :)
