Death Lyrics

We therefore commit this body to the ground

Earth to Earth

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

In certain insurrection

To eternal death

I was there the moment you took your first breath

I released you from my womb and gave birth to death

Time started ticking away

Beginning your journey back home

For to live is to die and to die is to live

As your shadow I'm with you always

I am the shadow of life

The end of all strife

The bringer of doom

With one sweep of my scythe I brought you life

And in the same way shall you die

I am the source of all your fears

I take away all you hold dear

You pray that I'm far away

But I couldn't be more near

I'm the exit

The final exhale of breath

I am Death

I am Death

I live in the house of the Scorpion

The first stage of putrefaction

Followed by the Serpent-Lord of life and death

And at last the Eagle exalted above solid matter

From me there is no escape

There is nowhere safe to hide

The only safety there is is deep in my embrace

There is no other cure or solution

But my dissolution

I am the great escape

I am mercy the end of all pain

I am complete liberation

I am total transformation

This lullaby and dance of death

Will rock you to timeless and dreamless sleep

I do not bring the end

For the end is just a new beginning

The Soul cannot die for it was never born

It can only and will forever transform

Worry not about what is left behind

I am solace of the mind

I am rest

I am peace

The great release

I am bliss
