As I awaken
|
Born from the slums and taken
|
Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity
|
And mastery of me
|
And my surroundings counting down the days till I'm exposed,
|
"I hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose
|
Till one day you're face to face you're gonna cross the line
|
You're lost for time
|
Life lose diminished
|
Heart beat finished replenish
|
Now you can be one with the light
|
But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
|
|
Hook:
|
So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight
|
Cause when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
|
Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right
|
But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
|
For real we take 'em away
|
They take 'em away
|
We take 'em away
|
They take 'em away
|
We take 'em away
|
|
Verse 2:
|
I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane
|
It stains the seal to let me know life is real
|
Sustain and build and and maintain a force field
|
I use it in a time of need when it's hazzardest
|
As it is said
|
Be defensive at all time for instance
|
As soon as I'm elevated out of existence
|
I am no more
|
I can soar
|
Right on the back of an eagle
|
Or look eye to eye with a beetle
|
But now I am engaged
|
In none other than the physical form in which I'm caged
|
Such lawlessness involved in this charade
|
Tainted face painted black
|
"Is that the end momma? Can't I come back?"
|
No your train stops here
|
Right where the rain drops appear
|
Next stop inbetween the ears
|
Objection to make you cirular
|
Work you just enough so you can work yourself
|

Verse 3:
|
Overly anxious can't just wait
|
To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate
|
It's inevitable there's no escape
|
There's no mistake
|
Every time a life is given it's another one you have to take
|
Then your electricity and and your energy's released
|
Born into another soul after your physical's deceased
|
May you forever rest in peace
|
Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent
|
You will cease to be no more
|
The war has been won
|
The warrior is rested and your duty here is done
|
Just when you think you're having fun
|
It'll snatch you up and run
|
For a second you appreciate the sun
|
For a half a second you appreciate the stars
|
For a half a second you reflect on who you are
|
And what you where
|
And in a flash it's all a blur
|

Outro:
|
Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death
|
The way I look at it it's three basic elements right?
|
Die, dying, dead right? Die, dying, dead. Death becomes you says the crow to
|
the cheetah because you're an old cat. See you seem a little under the
|
weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.
|
"Well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to
|
find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. You'll just be a few
|
more steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything that's
|
true and living, that's life driven is given a final shock boy. Frankly
|
speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. Every atom, organism,
|
insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "Death becomes you," says the
|
armadillo to the crow, "Oh you oh you are gonna die."
