I looked upon death in the eyes, and saw it tremble in fear.
It has no right to control my soul, so I made him fear himself.
Then it grabbed me close and said, "Listen Here,
There is no reason for you to live with yourself."
I told him he was wrong and should just let me go.
"I'm finished listening to you for the last and final time!"
He kept staring at me then backed up slow,
He finally realized that my life was not his, but mine.
So when death comes crawling back to me,
And shakes inside my bones,
I remind death that I am set free,
And he has got to leave me alone.
You have the power to conquer anything,
It's right inside your heart.
You can have all of everything
If you and this never depart.
