Death

The dark symphony of departure

By ChisomPublished about a year ago 1 min read
The journey to enlightenment

Men and women all perish in terror
Little is known about this material error

The things we do to stay off it's gaze
In the end we all feel it's cold embrace

The fear, the strife, the anguish and sorrow
That feeling of bitterness in the yonder tomorrow

He stared at me and gave me a cold smile
His next victims, he keeps inside his file

He takes and takes and to him it's fun
To us it's endless terror of the way things are done

His effects are felt so great and bold
It's considered nature to let it unfold

It destroys all peace, good and harmony
Chaos personified that lasts for eternity

Death oh death, why do u exist
Must my name be on your list

Pain and pain, all I know is pain
It destroys my thoughts, it kills my brain.
