The Years of Death and Dying

I am the years of death and dying I tear with gripping teeth I prey upon all the weary Eliminate the weak Not a day in your life passes When you won't think of me No thought and prayers can save you So get up off of your knees When I sense a weakness I move in with blazing speed Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons It matters not to me I'm a force of nature, pure and sure I've killed through all of time When a gale force wind blows through you You'll know that you are mine I am legend, I'm your end You'll wither when I'm near I'm the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears You may have had a brush with me Escaped and saved yourself Most likely I was occupied With killing someone else Legends fall when I come to call As I plan my next attack Petty things won't matter Just ask the man in black The rage is gone and so is Bon So young in their demise I ended the eruption I took them in their prime I'm a force of nature, pure and sure I've killed through all of time When a gale force wind blows through you You'll know that you are mine I am legend, I'm your end You'll wither when I'm near I'm the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears I cull the herd with no remorse Taking souls along the way I'm here to set the balance Of all you have to pay I turned Ziggy into stardust I've been killing ever since I took an eagle from the sky I even killed a Prince Struck down the queen, bid farewell to kings I took the angel of death I'm always at the ready To take away your breath I'm a force of nature, pure and sure I've killed through all of time When a gale force wind blows through you You'll know that you are mine I am legend, I'm your end You'll wither when I'm near I'm the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears
