Death
Death
He is like a bandit
he comes and take without a permit
a taker of life and the bringer of sorrow
going around with his spear and arrow
looking for who to gorge.
He takes and snatches all available soul
leaving nothing left them to console
he only has sweet taste to take the good heart away
and leave behind those that will only betray
O, the vicious life of death!
