The Years of Death and Dying

GARY HOLT, TOM HUNTING

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 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
