She studies death Shes a lab rat Forensic science The degree is for that The dead tell stories That go unheard Until she translates Every single word Death comes for us all But will we meet our demise With great anticipation Or unsuspecting eyes Will we have warning Or will it come randomly She studies death In a lab downstairs She studies the skin And bits of hair She knows their last meal From the stomach contents Of the dead that come In bits and pieces From the elderly woman Who lived a full life To the newborn child Who breathed once and died Death will catch you and me Eventually She studies death Through DNA Shell run some tests And find their names What they did During their lives And how they lived And how they died Death is eventual Death will spare nothing And nothing will change The course of destiny Everyone will fall Death comes for us all She studies death This gothic dream She sleeps in a coffin Drinks too much caffeine She studies death And she knows someday That death will come And take her away
