Bailiwick of Legerdemain 4: When a Death Shall Die
By Riven Waker
He asked the Devil for the power
To slay his Death Angel
A minor Death as in permanently
And it gave him immortality
Yet
there was this angst
Still others would perish
So he asked
the Devil
Again
For the power to kill the Reaper
A major Death - and it was granted
Yet the reaper held the
key to life
And with his perishing
So died the city
Swimmingly
Writhing

Huh.... well, I like the badass fantasy legendary feel, but the words were so emotionless... I felt like I was reading from a ledger of the damned.... which, I'm thinkin, may be just the tone you were lookin for... nice right... stranger eons death may die... METALLICA haha... but really stolen from Death be not Proud by John Donne.
