D

{Death} is but one green hill behind me
I'm tired, and mercy has run dry of steam 
for this mad race to the heart of infinity
who made these dark games of mortality
a shell game that nobody ever will win
{Death} is but one green hill behind me
slicing the chorus from beneath the wind
a withered black rose between its teeth.
