Doom Over Dead Man
The autumn clouds are caving inAnd night comes crawling, black as sinLightning strikes, and rain beginsA storm that tears my soul
I toss and tumble in my bedMy thoughts are spinning in my headDarkness nears, soon I'll be deadI'm losing all control
I've spent my life in foolish questsfor gold and riches, I confessAnd now I'm left with just regretsToo late to change my ways
My life, it seems, has slipped awayI leave no legacy to praiseNothing more for me to sayMy life has been a waste
When!My time has come for me to leaveWhen!When judgment's passed upon my lifeWhen!A cold dark grave will wait for meWill!Will my name live endlessly?When!My time has come for me to leaveWhen!When judgment's passed upon my lifeWhen!A cold dark grave will wait for meWill!Will my name live endlessly?
So I dieBut won't be mournedBroken and aloneI wish that I were never born
So I die and won't be missedNo rune stone will be raisedAs my body rots away
Die!All friends and cattle pass awayDie!And death will come for every manDie!But I know one thing never diesDoom!The sentence passed upon the deadNow!The time has come for me to leaveNow!When judgement's passed up on my lifeNow!Now I will rest in my dark graveWill!They speak my name with reverence?
My life has been a wasteNo rune stone will be raisedSo I die, but won't be mournedI wish that I were never bornI rest here in my shallow graveAs my body rots away
