I Spoke To Death

When our eyes met, I spoke to Death

I gave him my silver in exchange for your bed

He pulled me closer, put his mouth to my ear

Whispered a warning that I could never hear

I spoke to Death last night

He wore a nightmare gown

And when I spoke your name

He turned his eyes down to the ground

Born into darkness, confusion, and fear

You can't tell me different 'cause it's becoming clear

You take my hand, forcing scythe and plow

Don't let 'em take your life from you

Don't let 'em bring you down

I spoke to Death last night

He wore a nightmare gown

And when I spoke your name

He turned his eyes down to the ground

Oh, Death, can you hear my cries?

I walk this earth with you by my side

I've done all your bidding, I bend at your will

Now won't you release me and let me be still?
