Death's a shadow that creeps at night
Silent but deadly, always inside
It waits for no one, it takes its toll
Leaving behind stories to be told

Death stands tall, it never falls
Taking life, breaking walls
It calls us home, it's a great unknown
And we all must go to where we're shown

It's on the battlefield, it's in the sky
It comes in waves, it never dies
It's the thief in the dark, the end of days
And every living thing is just a phase

Death stands tall, it never falls
Taking life, breaking walls
It calls us home, it's a great unknown
And we all must go to where we're shown

We can fight it, we can try
But death won't listen, it's our goodbye
So let's live now, let's live for love
And hope that death will take us gently above

Death stands tall, it never falls
Taking life, breaking walls
It calls us home, it's a great unknown
And we all must go to where we're shown

Death stands tall, it never falls
Taking life, breaking walls
It calls us home, it's a great unknown
And we all must go to where we're shown

Death stands tall, it never falls
Taking life, breaking walls
It calls us home, it's a great unknown
And we all must go to where we're shown

Death stands tall, it's a fierce beast
But we'll live on in memories at least
So let's raise a glass to those who've gone
And remember them with every song
