(Verse 1) You can lie to the world, wear your disguise, Hide in the shadows, feed on the lies. You can steal the sun, take all the gold, But the reaper won’t care for the stories you’re told. (Pre-Chorus) Run as you may, there’s no place to fall, Truth be told, death claims us all. (Chorus) You can cheat, you can fight, Cling to power, hold it tight. But no matter how you rise or crawl, In the end, death claims us all. (Verse 2) You can build your throne on the backs of the weak, Speak with venom, let your pride peak. You can buy the heavens, barter your soul, But the sands of time will swallow it whole. (Pre-Chorus) Laugh at the grave, but you’ll hear its call, Truth be told, death claims us all. (Chorus) You can love, you can hate, Race the clock, but it’s too late. Rich or poor, the mighty or small, In the end, death claims us all. (Bridge) It’s the final thief, the silent sting, Stripping away what the years may bring. No bargains struck, no deals to make, It’s the only truth you can’t forsake. (Chorus) You can lie, you can steal, Live a life that’s barely real. But there’s no escape from that shadowed hall, In the end, death claims us all. (Outro) So live with grace or drown in sin, The game is brief, but none can win. For no matter the rise, no matter the fall, The grave stands waiting—
