The Angel of Death has arrived today
The Angel is Here


She came at her leisure, with some time to spare.                    
She wasn't in a hurry, she’d paid her fare.                              
It’s the same old reason; your time is now near,                    
Nobody cares, the Angel of Death is here.                              

Your end date has arrived; your cards have been dealt.          
Let’s have no tears now, they'll surely go unfelt.                    
You made your bed, now you’ve got to lie in it.                    
Enough has been said; let us get on with it!                              

Now that you know that you are the chosen one,                    
Don’t try to run away from the facts, my son.                    
You were a mean and spiteful person to all.                    
So don’t fool yourself, this is what caused your fall.                    

She looks ugly to you because of your fate.                              
To me she is awesome and really quite great.                    
It is only right that she has come today.                              
Things are looking up, now that you have to pay.                    

We’ll have a party as soon as you depart.                              
Nobody will cry for you, you had no heart.                              
Goodbye for now and goodbye forever more.                    
You stunk up your life and were bad to the core.                    

Let the party begin, let the drinks now flow.                              
That old rat bastard is as cold as real snow.                    
The Angel of Death has come and done what’s right.                    
So you behave now or she’ll get you tonight.
