DEATH!
He lost a father
She lost a son
He came back in the morning
And said I was the one
I told him to come another
day
He said he will not and he
wishes to stay
Everyday that passes I hear
your deep voice
Fate is your only master because
you have no choice
We wait patiently for you on your
arrival
Even though your companionship
is not desirable
But yet you decide our
survival
The Old man dress in black
And a knapsack hanging on his
back
With a black cloak
With a big black hat
That looks like the old
witch’s cat
Riding in a carriage driven
by a dark stallion
And the five rivers inscribed
on his medallion
You are incorruptible
And you take no pound or
shilling from those who wish not to ride with you
You simply tap them on the
shoulders and one will become one or two
You pardon no one whose time
is near
Kings and queens bow down to
you in fear
You are mightier than any man
And greater than any beast
You will not taste wine or
eat at a rich man’s feast
Sages and wise men can never
unsolved the mystery of your power
To resurrect Lazarus at the
very hour
Your cold, icy and fragile
hands could make a leaf
Wrinkle to ashes
Hades king of the underworld
Commander in chief of the
realm of darkness
Who sits on throne with his
queen Persephone
And lives in the dungeons of
hell
A place he calls home
Guarded by his loyal servant
Cerberus
The three headed monster
Who strikes down unwanted
guests with lightening and thunder
