Ode to death
Grime reaper oh Grime reaper.
How graceful you dance
Your long thin legs softly lifting of the withering ground
You float with black clouds below your feet,
unseen and unheard
How Graceful you dance
Angel of Death.
Beautiful in your own right
Your wings as dark as midnight sky
Your eyes not a blacken hole but a glimmering mirror,
that shows only what is real
Beautiful in your own right
Azrael.
Cursed is your name, hated by all
Seen as nothing but a lethal wind,
That comes and goes with no apology left
taking those we love the most
Welcome not like your brothers
Feared and belittle
Cursed is your name
But you too are still an Angelic creature
Your job important like all others
You are not a monster of the night
You are but a messenger, given a job
Death oh glorious death
Gracefully you dance
