Death is Near Lyrics

Darkness closing in
Like an animal encroaching upon it's prey
The scent of death slowly filling the air
Each breath a grasp for the light of day

As the promise of demise fills blackened lungs
Breathe deeper and embrace the end
A false promise to the god of despair
It comes as a malevolent thief in the dark of night
Luring the damned who down in prayer

Building upon dead promises
Above this decaying foundation of hope
Icy clutch of doom lingering in the shadows
Death's spiral, the weary travelers homeward slope
Trials overtake false joy
Painted smiles becoming impossible to forge
Each moment a step closer to eternity
A warning upon which deaf ears will gorge
Death is near

A false promise to the god of broken dreams
Release your mind and let the hate descend

Silent screams of agony
Watch your final fate embraced by death
As hope ignites your demise
Bleeding earth drowned in enraptured cries

Luring the damned who down in prayer

Brandished from a putrid blackened tongue
King of the hopeless souls
Now bow and worship your death
Your rotten prayers will bring you pain

The limit has been exceeded
All that is left now is to endure
So close to an idyllic fantasy
Crafted from a twisted, dark mind seeking a cure
Death is near

Death once a feared mistress
Now calls with a sweetened embrace
A bloody promise to end such bitter pain
She leaves no other trace

Darkness closing in
Like an animal encroaching upon it's prey
The scent of death slowly filling the air
Each breath a grasp for the light of day
