I'm Cancer, oh, I'm De...
They say I don't have a face, but I do, oh, I do. I'm the face of the person most dear to you. If you think about me, who do you see? Yes, that is me. I'm Cancer, oh, I'm De... They say I don't discriminate, but I do, oh, I do. I have identified my target long before they knew. I have seen their dreams, I have seen the love. I'm here, and I'm ruthless. I'm Cancer, oh, I'm De... They fear me, they don't speak my name. I'm Cancer, oh, I'm De... I come in the middle of the night, sweep through your family like a phantom. I alone brought forth helplessness, anger, and anguish. I'm Cancer, oh, I'm De... I only need to be in them to be a part of you. I make you cry, then I make you hope, just so that you weep with my deceit. I play games because that's how I feed, you are my emotional treat. I first appear, stay for a bit, then I hide just to make you think you've survived. But you didn't, oh, you didn't. For you have been focusing on one part while I'm part of many, and they have many parts. As you celebrate your victory, I creep, oh, I creep, waiting for you, for them, for us to meet. I'm Cancer, I'm the embodiment of Death, the eternity that confines my victory. I'm Cancer, oh, I'm Death.
