I Am (Become Death) - O'Brother

I will place a kingly crown on a breathless carcass

And I will seal the fate I found with an empty sigh

I will place a burial shroud to obscure our likeness

Lending all the blood I have to a worthless host

I won’t question why you try to push me off

I could be the one you trust to bring you home

I am the drug in your veins

I am death, I am song

And I’ll watch you sing along

I am the depth of your loss

I will show you the cost of what it means to know love

I won’t question why you try to push me off

I could be the one you trust to bring you home

I won’t question why you try to push me

Know you’re never alone

You see it all wrong

I’m gonna rise up and carry you home

See, the world is ours

When we know who we are

We’re gonna rise up and burst apart
