I am death…
I prey on all mankind;
I come at the darkest hour
When they know not;
I still the heart beat
And the life blood stops its flow;
I rob men of their future
And turn fair beauty into dust;
I take man from the living
And place him in the grave;
I send him forth to face
Eternity in another world.
You can’t avoid my stealthy call
For I will come;
Yea, be prepared to meet me:
I am Death.
