Intruder - Mr. Death lyrics

rate me

Tenement buildings, decay is in the air.<br />

A tangible aura of fear. boarded windows, rats in the walls, <br />

Soon all will be cleared. an old lady waits, <br />

Among darkened walls, scared of the things that in the shadows crawl.<br />

She knows he's come, so many times before, <br />

But she won't answer when he knocks at her door.<br />

<br />

[CHORUS:]<br />

Mr. Death - no more pain<br />

Mr. Death - no more blame<br />

Mr. Death - no more shame, just reach out and take his hand<br />

Mr. Death - do not run<br />

Mr. Death - it is done<br />

Mr. Death - he's the one who'll take you to your promised land<br />

<br />

Sounds of a scuffle, shots ring the air, a body falls to the ground.<br />

Blood flows freely as he cries in the night, for help that will never be found.<br />

All confused, why is he here, the pain it grows and so does his fear.<br />

Tired of the fight but he can't let it go.<br />

He still resists when death lands the final blow.<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

What is it about me that makes men fear?<br />

Why do they tremble whenever I draw near?<br />

Is it the final kiss they know that I must bring or is it the way men die, <br />

The pain and the suffering - but you have brought it on yourselves! -<br />

<br />

Why do you run when it's your turn to go, it should be easy for you.<br />

All those people you laid in their graves, you know just what to do.<br />

Mourn their loss, dry their tears, pillar of strength, allaying their fears.<br />

Now it's time, take his hand, don't be scared, it's part of the masters plan.
