[Verse] Death walks softly on the fragile air Whispers creeping like they just don’t care Shadows dance beneath the pale moon’s glare A fleeting moment life doesn’t spare [Verse 2] The clock keeps grinding bones into sand Time’s black fingers tighten their demand A chilling anthem plays without a band Each breath we take is stolen Not planned [Chorus] Oh death is always near it seems Haunting echoes invade our dreams A silent watcher behind the seams Life’s fragile glass splits at the beams [Verse 3] Steps on the stair when no one's around The ticking heartbeat crawls underground In life's applause we’re just the sound A fleeting spark in the fate we’re bound [Bridge] Still we laugh we love we try to cope Holding tight to stars and bits of hope Death may groan may grieve and mope But life's a fire and we’re the rope [Chorus] Oh death is always near it seems Haunting echoes invade our dreams A silent watcher behind the seams Life’s fragile glass splits at the beams
