The Chorus of Death

Do you ever wonder why when skies are gray and mothers die why is there heaven and there is hell when below damp soil is where we dwell Clouds are heavy, thunders cry cross my heart and hope to die ever wonder how this world goes 'round when all we ever do is lie beneath the ground Waters boil and seagulls fly against the screaming crows in the sky ever stopped to wonder why they fight when all we see is black as night Fear them yes, face them no only heaven saves us when we go out into that fiery lake ever wonder why our gods forsake Tremble yes, hide from them no ever wonder why we hate them so when all the stars speak their name and god spits you out all the same Angels clash, devils fall ever wonder why we love them so when all their feathers rot and fade no more wings for them that god has made Let the come, let them fall I can beat them one and all For I am Death, and I am fear ever wonder why I stay so near I come for them and I come for you no matter what you dream, or love, or do ever wonder why all this is when you are actually mine and not His
