I had spluttered into life
Onto a path of bitter strife
From the darkness of a womb
Into brightness from the gloom
But life’s journey always ends
Within the blackness of a tomb
A lost love once made me cry
I had seen my chance pass by
Death’s sweet voice entrances
She smiles and she advances
And my spirit she will cradle
She gives no second chances
I had flattered to deceive
I was reluctant to believe
I dug my head into the sand
I destroyed the promised land
Became the master of remorse
But still I did not understand
Now a resting place I crave
Far away beyond the grave
Death’s sweet voice is pleading
She’ll give me what I’m needing
And my spirit she will cradle
To stop my soul from bleeding
I had lived with morbid fears
Through the adolescent years
False dreams of immortality
Success a mere formality
But floundered in my apathy
With comfort zone mentality
But now I cease to weep
The tears no longer seep
Death’s sweet voice is calling
To free me from life’s mauling
And my spirit she will cradle
As into her arms I’m falling
I had seen my bridges burned
And my lessons duly learned
But I found the truth too late
And though I tried to mitigate
I faced the sabres of revenge
And the silenced guns of hate
Darkness closes in on day
And I will soon be on my way
Death’s sweet voice is singing
Her bells of freedom ringing
And my spirit she will cradle
To soothe away life’s stinging
I had dreamed of time beginning
And the universe was spinning
Before the quirks of evolution
Brought the ultimate solution
And the victims of misfortune
Were left seeking retribution
And so I must bid goodbye
My tears have now run dry
Death’s sweet voice is sighing
She is calm and pacifying
And my spirit she is cradling
As I’m laid here gently dying
How DO you do it? I absolutely loved it!
