I Death!

By Lucifer666

Eternal and victorious my strength flows
rich in blood the skin of my body glows
I seek life and extinguish the fire
the soul of the body burning with desire,
feeling the breath escaping from lips pure and fine
the last heartbeat stopping forever in time.

The carcass I then lay down to sleep
and watch secretly as families weep
I see tears falling from soulful eyes
watching with glee as they say their goodbyes,
many rivers red I have made flood
my pores I have steeped in innocent's blood.

Every dark night you will find me
I come into your homes dancing with glee,
the young the old I don't really care
the Spirit from your body I will tear,
you can never run, you can never hide
for all of you I will take in my stride.

War and famine the innocent's plight
disease and decay, Oh what a sight
Fight! I like to see you play that game
though in the end it remains the same,
your mortality fills me with power
as I pluck you like a little flower.

I am the footsteps walking behind you,
I am the knife that you feel go through,
I am the bullet that enters the brain,
I am the explosion that speaks my name,
I am the friend that you call Death,
see me as you draw your final breath
