So feared, awesome and mighty
You keep coming and coming
And never tired
Never to spare any for a penny
Death, yes it was you
You took away the dear loss
Not that accident or that illness
You come to take that tired part of us
From where it was placed
Because earth, its owner still cried for it
Earth will rejoice in our sorrow
When eyes wet with cries
The smell of flesh
Fresh
Covered in casket
In suit
I know not if I will carry
Or once more let it tarry
I will never say good bye
Because you still live
Even in my dreams
Where I always pass you by
