Lyrics:

I was called to the rolling banks of the water to bathe
In the river of truth
The river tried to pull me under
And refused to turn me loose
I was called to read from the bible of life
And I read from beginning to end
Every page and every line
Still I could not comprehend

[Chorus:]
Death came, death came
And gave you his kiss
Death came, death came
And took you away from this
Oh, I miss you so
And I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss

I tasted the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge
And I ate from dawn til dark
I was sated but not satisfied
Until I carved my name in the bark
I was called to drink and was seduced
By the sweetest, brightest berry
I quenched my thirst with the red juice
Still I found no sanctuary

[Chorus x2]

I miss you so
And I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss
