Immortals Embrace

The three shots rang out following each other In a rapid succession ready to vanquish their target Ready to eliminate him from the roll of the living He drops on his knees as his assailants run out He is not dead yet so he decides to give thanks Lifting his hand - they are covered with blood With no water cistern and not inclined to sin He puts them behind his back offering prayers A brilliant bright light and he is in the presence The blessed presence of a holy angel of the Lord Welcome angel of the Lord and be the light of my life They intone as they embrace merging into one entity
