[Verse 1]
In the shadows where we tread,
Sits a foe with a silent thread,
Striking hard, it knows no bounds,
No escape, it's lurking around.
Oh, it's true, this darkness knows,
Every heart, every soul, it shows,
The legacy we cannot shake,
A fate that all of us must face.
[Chorus]
What if our enemy ceased to be,
That spirit haunting you and me?
Death is the name, the end of the game,
Touching young and old just the same.
[Verse 2]
It whispers low in the night so deep,
To the children who laugh, to the dreams that sleep,
No one is safe from its cruel embrace,
It's a gamble in this cosmic race.
You can try to run, but you can't disguise,
When death comes knocking with cold, grey eyes.
[Chorus]
What if our enemy ceased to be,
That spirit haunting you and me?
Death is the name, the end of the game,
Touching young and old just the same.
[Bridge]
Sometimes it feels like a dark release,
For those who suffer, it could bring peace,
Yet for those left behind in love's warm light,
The wounds remain, haunting the night.
Feelings of grief, they wrap like chains,
Making each heartbeat echo with pain.
[Verse 3]
When the end arrives, it's hard to understand,
Why it comes stealthy, unplanned, unplanned.
It creeps in quietly, takes you by surprise,
Leaving memories that linger, in our goodbyes.
May this shadow teach us, to live with intent,
Embrace every moment, while our time is spent.
[Chorus]
What if our enemy ceased to be,
That spirit haunting you and me?
Death is the name, the end of the game,
Touching young and old just the same.
[Outro]
So take a breath, hold it dear,
Life's fleeting dance, let go of the fear,
For in the end, we're all entwined,
In this journey of love, we've left behind.
May death bring us closer, and teach us to care,
To cherish each day, 'cause we're all here to share.
