Death is like the night sky,
Beautiful and there in the blink of an eye.
Stalking his prey,
Near the end of the day.

Death is nigh.

Best not to goad
While nearing the road.
Death’s eyes ablaze,
Awaiting your next gaze.

Beware this phase.

Death watches the skies
While you await your demise.
He scrapes his knives
As he looks into your eyes.

He stalks his prize.

Moonlight shows the way
As you run through the forests Fae.
You must move swiftly,
Death will come quickly.

Your body is here, but not your soul.

Death consumes you,
You plunge in the deep blue.
He clouds your vision.
He’s on a mission.

The end is near.

Your fate is sealed in solemnity,
Death will keep his immortality.
Thanks to your kind sacrifice,
Death now rolls the dice.

Your life will suffice.

He is the symbol of blood rain,
He now inflicts severe pain.
Over the world he now controls,
He’s reversed the roles.
