Immortals Serenade In Honor of Death

What a sweet splendor you’re my Queen To the living and to those who have lived I once feared your harmless serenity When I was a mortal a mere living fool I once thought you are the end of man Unknown to me you’re but his beginning Not until we shared the same dusty bed I saw the tremendous beauty you possess O lady death what a glory you depict To you all men must come to bow And pay homage before your throne No slave have been found unworthy Yet no king have been found worthy You’re impartial, kind and generous Oh what an unconditional lover you’re A gift of relief to both the rich and poor It saddens me when I realize that mortals Still panic and fear your harmless sting Dreadful tales we were told about you It was always the perversive dust to dust Men has placed an ugly mask on you The great devourer so you were called I was once told you’re the wages of sin Not knowing you’re natures own delight Let mortals seek endless happiness Yet they will never find peace and joy The living will always have a cause to cry How unknown to them you’re but a home The paradise that religion preach about While men still sweat and weep to live We the dead have inherit life eternal For death is only a price for immortality
