A Fate Worse Than Death

Extinction will catch up to you

And there is nothing you can do

What fate surely waits

Maybe eaten by wolves

In your sleep

Your time is quickly running out

It's pointless to worry and pout

What fate surely waits

Maybe dying of thirst

Lost at sea

Don't worry your head off

There's always a fate worse than death

Pray you go quietly

Quick and not violently

No need to worry

We all meet our end someday

Pray you go silently

Into the bleak dead of night

You'll soon be dead as a doornail

What stories will your loved ones tell

What fate surely waits

Maybe drowned like a rat

In a latrine

You'll soon be pushing up daises

Laid in a pine box six foot deep

What fate surely waits

Maybe roasted and served

As a cuisine

Don't worry your head off

There's always a fate worse than death

Pray you go quietly

Quick and not violently

No need to worry

We all meet our end someday

Pray you go silently

Into the bleak dead of night

When you meet you maker

Will you still be in one piece

When you take your last bow

Will you fall down on your knees

When you cash in your chips

Will you have your pistol drawn

When the pale horse appears

Will you still have your boots on

Don't worry your head off

There's always a fate worse than death

Pray you go quietly

Quick and not violently

No need to worry

We all meet our end someday

Pray you go silently

Into the bleak dead of night
