I Spoke to Death

[Verse 1]
When our eyes met, I spoke to Death
I gave him my silver in exchange for your bed
He pulled me closer, put his mouth to my ear
Whispered the warning that I could never hear

[Chorus]
I spoke to Death last night
He wore a nightmare gown
And when I spoke your name
He turned his eyes down to the ground

[Verse 2]
Born into darkness, confusion and fear
You can't tell me different, 'cause it's becoming clear
You take my head, forced inside the mouth
Don't let him take your life from you, don't let him bring you down

[Chorus]
I spoke to Death last night
He wore a nightmare gown
And when I spoke your name
He turned his eyes down to the ground

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, Death, can you hear my cries?
I won't deserve with you by my side
I'm told your bidding, I'm bent at your will
Now won't you release me and let me be still?
