Death

Death,  You that made my brother put his hands
 on his bosom
What have we done to pay your ransom

You filled my soul with emptiness
And subverted my happiness

I never thought, and had no believe
That you'll fill my heart with such grief

Gerold, he that ruled spears
Is now struck down by fear

 Death,You that set my innocent family mourning 
  I will hate you every morning,
 
 While I still have breath
And you, I will never forget.

Death's only power is that which we give it.
