The Clock is Ticking

Tick tock tick tock
Death is looking for you 
Tick tick tock 
Don't try to run 
 
Tick tock tick tock 
You can't escape it 
Tick tock tick tock
Fate has already decided that your time is near 
 
Tick tock tick tock 
His icy fingers will reach out to you 
Tick tock tick tock 
To pull you to his cold body for a warm embrace 
 
Tick tock tick tock 
The hourglass timer is almost out 
Tick tock tick tock 
The alarm is about to go off 
 
Tick tock tick tock 
His endless voids of eyes stare into you
Tick tock tick tock 
He breathes his poisonous breath on to you 
 
Tick tock tick tock 
Covering you in arsenic 
Tick tock tick tock 
You struggle for breath and he laughs at you with glee 
 
Tick tock tick tock
He reaches towards you 
Tick tock tick tock 
Your times up.
