Certain Death Lyrics

Everything must die

Death was creeping by

I thought you made the grade

Or somehow skipped the grave

They say you're far away

In sky and pearly gates

But I could dig you up

And you'd still look the same

Brook don't be afraid

Though you've grown more white than grey

And embers burn tonight

But I couldn't say goodbye

But I am with you now

Say "Sh'ma Yisrael"

You had your final breath

And life is just a staircase to certain death

Everything must go

And death can be slow

This I ought to know

This I gotta know

But now you're buried deep

Feeding a cherry tree

Death came suddenly

I'm certain death will come for me
