Heavenly Slumber

O death don't be so proud
you're not as powerful nor dreadful
a being that one may think

Dying you take me to the grave
in sweet surrender that comes with rest and sleep
through this passage of life

Which brings pleasure
mixed with euphoric sighs
in the last breath

Moving so swiftly into a peaceful slumber
beautiful tranquil music surrounds outside the body
neon ultra violet beams of celestial brilliance

In experiencing the supernatural glory
overwhelming joy brighter than light
beyond beauty without comparison

It's there a soul finds reason
why a good life is cut short
giving rest to the conscience in eternal bliss

Setting the spirit free Almighty Master
O God in deaths prayer
You hold everlasting power over all
