One death a name in the stone

Death is a man taking names
Names are just words upon stone
Breath is called life playing games
Until life has been cut to the bone.

Never knew I'd get such Goddamned highs
Just to drop down to cold crushing low
Never thought of so many goodbyes,
To so many people I know.

Cannot think that one day will be me
will be my name that's called by the man
Death so they say sets you free
yet I'm running as fast as I can.

Can you hear us all gasping for air?
As we race from the gape of the grave
That death is so certain is fair,
there is no-one forever can save
