The Years of Death and Dying Lyrics


I am the years of death and dying

I tear with gripping teeth

I prey upon all the weary

eliminate the weak

Not a day in your life passes

when you won’t think of me

No thought and prayers can save you

So get up off of your knees

When I sense a weakness

I move in with blazing speed

Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons

it matters not to me

Chorus

I’m a force of nature pure and sure

I’ve killed through all of time

When a GALE force wind blows through you

you’ll know that you are mine

I am legend, I’m your end

you’ll wither when I’m near

I’m the years of death and dying

the sum of all your fears

You may have had a brush with me

escaped and saved yourself

Most likely I was occupied

with killing someone else

Legends fall when I come to call

as I plan my next attack

PETTY things won’t matter

just ask THE MAN IN BLACK

The RAGE is gone and so is BON

so young in their demise

I ended the ERUPTION

I took them in their prime

Repeat chorus

Solo Gary

Solo Lee

I cull the herd with no remorse

taking souls along the WAY

I’m here to set the balance

of all you have to pay

I turned ZIGGY into STARDUST

I’ve been killing ever since

I took an EAGLE from the sky

I even killed a PRINCE

Struck down the QUEEN

Bid FAREWELL TO KINGS

I took the ANGEL OF DEATH

I’m always at the ready

to take away your breath

Repeat Chorus
