Befriend Death

I speak death, He speaks death, She speaks death, They speak it too, Loud and clear, mute and sheer, it speaks us too Tell me of the mark it left in your heart Tell me of the sound it made that night, The words it forced out of their mouths, Tell me of the tears it jerked out of their eyes. No heart of steel can break out of its chains, No mastermind can outsmart its moves, For death is the core of the deepest wounds, The criminal fate we can never remove So befriend death, Not all kinds of misery enjoys solitude So befriend death, Take it quietly to the side, ask it to take you too, And befriend death, Let it win you over, there isn’t anything worth it, When you befriend death, It’ll show you places, you’ve never heard of… Befriend death – the world won’t give you better than what it’s got to offer I’ll befriend death, take it, let it take me, light on, light off- Friends.
