To get an awful feeling

Mortality passing you by

Do you do what you want in life

Or do you squander all your time

Cos it's an obscene dealer

And it's not always kind

So watch yourself and take a chance

Even when it's tough to survive

You hear what I said

It will fill you full of dread

Quick like hot smoking lead

Can you them saying

People bowing down and praying

There's got to be a better way

It can get so complicated

When you're trying to try

And the hours leave you outdated

Expired way past your prime

As it tries on your patience

Give it all that you can

And when you come back tomorrow

I hope I meet a different man

Mortality

On the faces of you and me

Heavy with it's gravity

Mortality

Our cynical levity

Until we reach vacuity

A story no one wants to hear

Accusatory to your ears

As it preys on all your fears

Where is the glory after all these years

Turns out you'll make it to a graveyard

Where good and bad people stay

Do you lay alone at night

And think about what the dead might say

Tales of hatred and exploitation

Stores of love and war

When you're locked inside a casket

Peace might be whats in store

If it's peace you find in dying

When dying time is here

Then bundle up my coffin

If it's peace you find in dying

When dying time is here

Then bundle up my coffin

Cos it's cold way down there

Yeah

A story no one wants to hear

Accusatory to your ears

As it preys on all your fears

Where is the glory after all these years

I don't know
