lyrics

A phantom drifting through my door, she took all the warmth away
I am only death my child, you don’t need to be afraid
She was covered in a long black cloak when I let her in
Standing there in the darkness I saw the light within

Death is a teacher every time i see her
I’m letting someone go
Still i receive her when she’s at my door
I greet her with my head hung low
And when i’m afraid she lights up the stage
Her whispers they lead me home
Death is a teacher, every time I see her
I wonder how long it will be til I go

Shadows on my face are gone, but I can’t stop calling out
And every time I lose a friend I get a new stripe on my belt
I’ve come to understand that forever is a long long time
And no matter what I learn I’m lost when she arrives

Death is a teacher every time i see her
I’m letting someone go
Still i receive her when she’s at my door
I greet her with my head hung low
And when i’m afraid she lights up the stage
Her whispers they lead me home
Death is a teacher, every time I see her
I wonder how long it will be til I go

I close my eyes, I cannot see
And darkness, she’s surrounding me

Death is a teacher every time i see her
I’m letting someone go
Still i receive her when she’s at my door
I greet her with my head hung low
And when i’m afraid she lights up the stage
Her whispers they lead me home
Death is a teacher, every time I see her
I wonder how long it will be til I go
