In darkness deep where fears entwine
We face the truth of finite time
Through tangled vines of doubt we tread
Embracing certainty where time is spread
Nothing left but to welcome the fall
In his chilled grasp we can't fore-stall
The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste
Of a lifetime path gone in haste
Through haunted dreams and endless night
We confront the void, our final fight
We dance the dance with every breath
In the fleeting moments observed by Death
Lurking in veiled corners it waits unseen
A timeless witness over a solemn scene
Just a whisper in the quiet of the night
As the stars above dim their light
Nothing left but to welcome the fall
In his chilled grasp we can't fore-stall
The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste
Of a lifetime path gone in haste
Through haunted dreams and endless night
We confront the void, our final fight
We dance the dance with every breath
In the fleeting moments observed by Death
No salvation in denial no time for regrets
Just the truth, flowing through a vignette
Will there be peace now in letting go?
Awash in the ebb and flow that sorrows sow
Slipping through the liminal places
Surrounded by half remembered faces
The pain, the sorrow, the bitter taste
Of a lifetime path gone in haste
With a final gasp a spark is released
The last grains signal that time has ceased
Through the darkness, we'll find our light
In shedding this mortal coil, souls take flight
