Dont fear death

 Don't fear death in earthly travels. 
Don't fear enemies or friends. 
Just listen to the words of prayers, 
To pass the facets of the dreads. 

Your death will come to you, and never 
You shall be, else, a slave of life, 
Just waiting for a dawn's favor, 
From nights of poverty and strife. 

She'll build with you a common law, 
One will of the Eternal Reign. 
And you are not condemned to slow 
And everlasting deadly pain.
