Death!
It is a wake of death,
From the place you slept,
Some don't return no more disgrace is left,
Can't be happy for their freedom,
So many faces wept,
The most high made the call and that's basic death,
Where has thou gone,
He took you away like calgone,
This is the moment of truth,
Compelling opponent of youth,
Apart of that soul has flown into you,
This is not about those who can't hear,
Although death is about holes closed in the ear,
It's about countless lives leaving each year,
It's unexpected,
Nobody knows and who fears,
But the watchful eye has imposed a few tears.
If you believe you better aim that peace,
Death approach the sleep and the slain in the street!
