Doldrums of Death

Doldrums of death
Beat like drumrolls
That final breath
When the bell tolls

Doldrums of death
Shrouded in palls
Leads to Lethe
When the trump calls

Doldrums of death
Sound like headaches
Cry of Macbeth
When the cord* breaks

Doldrums of death
Stab like sharp spikes
Placing grave wreath
When the clock strikes



*silver cord
