Death Came

I was called to the rolling banks of the water to bathe In the river of truth The river tried to pull me under And refused to turn me loose I was called to read from the bible of life And I read from beginning to end Every page and every line Still I could not comprehend [Chorus:] Death came, death came And gave you his kiss Death came, death came And took you away from this Oh, I miss you so And I long to know Why death gave you his kiss I tasted the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge And I ate from dawn til dark I was sated but not satisfied Until I carved my name in the bark I was called to drink and was seduced By the sweetest, brightest berry I quenched my thirst with the red juice Still I found no sanctuary [Chorus x2] I miss you so And I long to know Why death gave you his kiss
