Death Will Be My Bride

Woke up this morning

Set off down the road

Left behind me all those years

Searching for a common soul

I've been looking for a thousand

And one distractions

To empty my mind

Of thoughts of loneliness

I've been looking for someone

To take away my frustrations

But all I find is a sea of emptiness

Death will be my bride

Three hours from sundown

I'm still on the road

With those voices in my head

Ringing down the years

For the wind whispers my name

And the leaves they lend a helping hand

If I don't reach you by this time tomorrow

I'll be stone cold dead in the ground

Death will be my bride
