Death


Speak my name for it simplifies fact.
Life and death are not in similar pact. 

The fool does not respect my fate, 
comprehend when I heed or hate.
The vigilant do not escape my stalk, 
nor bear witness that I breathe and walk.

The suffering call on my grim and name. 
Salvage the souls in my persistent aim.
The false learn my fatal touch true. 
Value the factors which I cannot provide you.

The brave stand their ground with might. 
Beware my gentle whisper in the night.
The shadows take form in my disguise. 
Behold, my pets, I do not compromise.

The suicidal speak my name forever. 
Take heed mortals, I leave them never.
The impious moan with fear and scream. 
Morality awake! I am not a dream.

Speak my name for it simplifies fact. 
Life and death are not in similar pact.
