I am Death.

Swift and silent in the dead of night.

Harvesting souls

When their time has come

I am Death.

Walking the battlefields,

Collecting soldiers and helping them

Escape their pain.

I am Death.

Personified darkness,

Cause of mourning,

A reason to be scared.

I am Death.

Comforting those who have nothing.

Visiting the elderly

And helping them to sleep.

I am Death.

Destroying families

And turning people against each other.

Taking those who are ready.

I am Death.

Bringing people together

And accepting anyone

With open arms.

I am Death.

The soundless thief,

Creeping ever so slowly

Towards your withering soul.

I am Death.

Watching with wary eyes

As lovers blossom and flourish,

'Till Death do them part.

I am Death.

Forcing People to accept their fate.

Starting and ending wars,

Stealing countless lives.

I am Death.
