When you're least expecting my call
Or at the end Life descends
Olden age you fall

Just remember I'm a promised fact
There's no way around fate No secret pact

Many through the ages they have tried
Believe me that I know
They all failed & died

Death be thy name death be thy name
Death be thy name death be thy name
Searching for an ancient tale or myth
Read it on a book or heard it from the wind

Takes you to the edges of the earth
Even try to steal it from the newly breathed

But your efforts are a waste of time
You can't hide forever You'll still be mine

Aarghhh I'm coming to get you

Now the scientist misunderstood
Can't make immortality inside a test tube
I don't know if I should laugh or cry
Take it as an insult or credit you're trying

But for now the old saying holds fast
He who laughs the longest is he
Who laughs last
