I'll fix your feet til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim

(Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold)

that i must come and go with thee
of death of death how can it be
i'm unprepared, i'm unprepared for eternalty
"to let the feel drop from the brain" is utterly, bluntly incredible.
