Death's Rhythm

Death's Rhythm

Death beats a steady rhythm

Sounding loud within my chest

Starting at the time of conception

So strong and powerful

It counts down second by second

You try to really live your life

Doing things that make you happy

Finding the love that God gave you

No matter what you can do

No matter what you can say

You cannot plead your case

Death still beats a steady rhythm

All you can do is live for the moment

Ignore the steady pounding in your chest

Forget that time is short and precious

Live, love, enjoy what you are doing

Then when Death's rhythm stops

You can laugh in his face

Taunt him for eternity

Tell him that you lived a good life

That you have been happy

Tell him that you have made others happy

Then, as final words, tell him you are ready

You have no regrets

Then get your wings and enjoy eternity

Always remember that you lived

And that you had a good life

That is all you will ever need
