Epitaph Epiphany

VERSE 1
Your paper trail has run cold
Cut with slippery tongues
Hospital stays you must hold
On those stairs are your last rungs

CHORUS
Epitaph Epiphany
Your last breath of so many
Deathbed is your wake up call
They had warned you one and all

VERSE 2
Hurling towards the infinite unknown
Metered by the webs of distance
Screaming I should have known
It's too late pay the ultimate penance

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Your eyes are closing for the last time
You didn't heed the threat of being ill
There was just no reason or rhyme
Finally dawns of that thing that will kill

CHORUS x 2
