Death, your cold embrace
Awakens me to see
This nightmare is reality
My sorrow, my loss, my grief
Why you, not me?
This loss wasn’t meant to be
Death, your cold embrace
Chilling like winter’s air
Like crippled leaves,
I’ve fallen from grace
I lay unable to feel
Iced tears frozen upon thy face
Numb, my frosted soul
is ready for eternal rest
Memories of sunlight
memories of warmth
Far out of reach
The sun sets for eternity
Call my name
haunting shame
Cursed cries
Echo in pain
I suffocate in the shadows
The wind carries me to blackened meadows
Plucked from the tree of life
Rotted fruit, once ripe with pain
Missed the harvest
Now life is a waste
I'll join you in the river,
weighed down with my agony and regret.
I feel the emptiness,
lingering after death.
The frigid chill fills my lungs
My last breaths I have clung
I descend death’s ladder
Rung by rung
With you, in this river
Where we’ve been claimed one by one
