The Years of Death and Dying Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
When you won’t think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
[Verse 2]
You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
"Petty" things won’t matter
Just ask "the Man in Black"
The "Rage" is gone and so is "Bon"
So young in their demise
I ended the "Eruption"
I took them in their prime
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
[Guitar Solo: Gary Holt]
[Guitar Solo: Lee Altus]
[Verse 3]
I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the "Way"
I’m here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay
I turned "Ziggy" into "Stardust"
I’ve been killing ever since
I took an "Eagle" from the sky
I even killed a "Prince"
Struck down the "Queen"
Bid "Farewell to Kings"
I took the "Angel of Death"
I’m always at the ready
To take away your breath
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
