Death

We therefore commit this body to the ground
Earth to Earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
In certain insurrection
To eternal death

I was there the moment you took your first breath
I released you from my womb and gave birth to death
Time started ticking away
Beginning your journey back home
For to live is to die and to die is to live

As your shadow I'm with you always
I am the shadow of life
The end of all strife
The bringer of doom
With one sweep of my scythe I brought you life
And in the same way shall you die

I am the source of all your fears
I take away all you hold dear
You pray that I'm far away
But I couldn't be more near
I'm the exit
The final exhale of breath
I am Death
I am Death

I live in the house of the Scorpion
The first stage of putrefaction
Followed by the Serpent-Lord of life and death
And at last the Eagle exalted above solid matter

From me there is no escape
There is nowhere safe to hide
The only safety there is is deep in my embrace
There is no other cure or solution
But my dissolution

I am the great escape
I am mercy the end of all pain
I am complete liberation
I am total transformation

This lullaby and dance of death
Will rock you to timeless and dreamless sleep

I do not bring the end
For the end is just a new beginning
The Soul cannot die for it was never born
It can only and will forever transform

Worry not about what is left behind
I am solace of the mind

I am rest
I am peace
The great release
I am bliss
