Hymn To Death

A river flows beside me
A rose withers inside thee
Every promise broken
Torn away, sold into slavery

Will you walk beside me?
Will you try to guide me?
Teach me what I know
Or hang about while evil roams free?

I stared into the abyss
When I had nothing left
I gave the Queen of Hel a kiss
And I lost all fear of death

Singing Ring a Rosie
Bleached earth yields no posies
Dust to dust we fade
A slow decay, the same old story

Listen as the death bell rings
Do you hear the words I sing?
Will you cry aloud
As acid clouds melt through everything?

I stared into the abyss
When I had nothing left
I gave the Queen of Hel a kiss
And I lost all fear of death

A hymn for the dying and the damned
For all those buried in the land
That every night with my last breath
I will sing this Hymn to Death
