Текст Exodus — The Years of Death and Dying

I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
When you won’t think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me

[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a «Gale» force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears

[Verse 2]
You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
«Petty» things won’t matter
Just ask «the Man in Black»
The «Rage» is gone and so is «Bon»
So young in their demise
I ended the «Eruption»
I took them in their prime

[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a «Gale» force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears

[Guitar Solo: Gary Holt]
[Guitar Solo: Lee Altus]

[Verse 3]
I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the «Way»
I’m here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay
I turned «Ziggy» into «Stardust»
I’ve been killing ever since
I took an «Eagle» from the sky
I even killed a «Prince»
Struck down the «Queen»
Bid «Farewell to Kings»
I took the «Angel of Death»
I’m always at the ready
To take away your breath

[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a «Gale» force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
