  1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Company Halt! I awaken in the night The Death Patrol is marching I hear the boots with each step 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap When suddenly they stop! Company Halt! Oh dear God Please not me! I am not ready to go So much to do So much left unsaid Please let them pass my bed 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Company Halt! I hear the rattle of the keys As they enter my door Terror rushes through me Pulling the covers over my head Begging, pleading, asking God Please let pass my bed 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Steps are closer As they near Up my steps they come Shaking badly in my bed This is the moment that I dread My heart is beating in a flutter I am praying in a stutter Please, Dear Lord Hear my cry Please let them pass on by 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Footsteps sound like a hammer Beating at my heart I hear the door to my room They continue to march 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Company Halt The moment has come They are here I lay and tremble Sweating in fear The leader of the patrol Points and tells me to rise I burrow further in my bed Knowing my demise I feel a force Greater than me Lifting me up Out of bed The covers Left behind My eyes open I stare ahead The leader Of the patrol Reaches out To touch me I pull away Wishing I could flee When at this time I notice a kindness in his eyes He strokes my cheek And tells me not to fear No harm shall come Heaven is near This journey is almost over At the end I shall be blessed A heavenly reunion awaits Soon I will be able to rest A portal then opened Angels rejoicing on the other side Heavenly voices singing The Death Patrol was my guide 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap 1, 2, 3, 4 Tap, tap, tap, tap Company Halt Welcome music was playing As I entered through the portal Cradled in the arms Of the Elite Immortal The Leader Of the Death Patrol by Renee Robinson
