(Every Soul Will Face this Day in song form)
[Verse]
knocking comes upon the door so grim.
The air turns cold, as if to freeze the skin.
Death cloaked as a shadow in its prime,
with hourglass pouring out the last of his time.
The man pleads “I’ll give you riches vast”
“I’ve diamonds, pearls and dreams that last”.
[Verse]
“Oh, let me live. I’ll change my wicked ways,”
The man cries out as he counts out his days.
Death sighs, heard as cold shadows spread,
“The Master decides when your last day is tread.”
[Verse 3]
The man fights, clings hard to fleeting life,
Shows Death his children, his tearful wife.
Death’s gaze unyielding whispers low,
“This debt is owed. it’s time to let go.”
[Chorus]
Death whispers sting like angry bees.
“I crave no jewels, nor bound to pleas,
There is no prize that can change my mind ,
I’ve no hungers, no thirsts and no love for humankind.”
Every soul will face this day.
[Verse]
Night falls and clock sounds half past wrong,
A shadow comes creeping for her, cold and strong.
Her breath catches tight, her heart skips a beat,
The figure moves so near with silence as feet.
[Verse 2]
“Not yet, I am begging you please!”
Her voice breaking thin,
“I have dreams to tend, my life yet to begin.”
But the cloaked one stares with hollow gaze,
No bargains are made when it is the end of your days.
[Verse]
She sinks to her knees, eyes narrow with despair,
“Does mercy not exist, does anyone even care?”
The figure stands firm unyielding and cold,
“The end must come when the story is told.”
[Verse]
The young hands tremble clutching the air,
“Give me one reason why you’re so unfair.”
But the reaper only offers one steady reply,
“The Master decides who lives and who must die.”
[Chorus]
Death whispers sting like angry bees.
“I crave no jewels, nor bound to pleas,
There is no prize that can change my mind ,
I’ve no hungers, no thirsts and no love for humankind.
Every soul will face this day.
[Outro]
I walk with grace from the Master’s decree,
There’s no escape, it’s not up to me.
No pleas, no tears can turn me away,
When the Master calls I cannot delay.
Every soul will face this day.
