I fear death as I fear life
Afraid to die yet scared to live
The scythe of death, the blow of life
Neither kept me standing
Beneath my bed I shiver
This thief in the night awaits
Standing grinning by the door
Humming hymns of requiem
At dawn my eyes ease open
Good-forsaken day to endure
Where ill luck gets another chance
To strike its curse on me
The nights are always frightful
And daylights full of dread
My life a whole day failure
And death still lurks at night
