Why taunt such things as sweet as Death?
When one could waltz right in?
Why flirt with the edge of infinity
When you can dive in, head first?
Why ignore its adoring whispers
When you know it will reply to yours?
Fear not, things as succulent as Death
When it will caress you with the wisps of clouds
Kiss you with dreams of slumber
And make you dizzy with thoughts of the world beyond
You will leave your worries of this hellish world behind
And be swept away to the universe’s night
Be entranced with the dance of Death
And swoon in its attentive eyes
Relish every moment in its eternal presence
And take delight in its whispered words for you
For it will promise to rest, and never leave, from the temple of your heart
And remain forever faithful to your unsettled mind
No longer will you have to scream silent cries
And weep with dry tears
Nor be plagued with buts, if onlys, and empty wishes
Or feel lonely in a crowded life
You will no longer have to hope and pray for salvation someday
For Death is at your beck and call, to sweep you away
Worry not of falling
For Death will be sure to come
It will wrap your tattered soul with its loving arms
And seal its promise with a kiss
It will bless you an enchanted everlife
And grant you an answer for every single wish
So cease living dead in the realm of life
Go live, and flourish in the kingdom of Death
Dance forever in its adoring light
And be happy in your every breath
Cease the living, when living alive is pain
Whisper a wish for Death, and it will come and take it all away
