The Grim Reaper's Song
Death, oh death, so dark and grim
The great equalizer, who takes us all in
No one can escape your icy grip
You leave a trail of tears and grief
As you claim your victims, one by one
You bring an end to all our fun
But even in the face of death
We hold on to our final breath
For in the end, we all must die
But until then, we'll live and thrive
So bring on death, we'll meet you with grace
And make the most of our time in this place.
