The Cape of Death

Rose petals fall slowly behind the cape of death
Approaching our side our cheek she would caress

Fear not the separation of body and the soul
Whether it be quick or slow
Sometime we'll have to go

There's not a man alive who will never join the dead
All have an appointed time, a destiny with death

Since we all have to die, can we not accept the fate?
What's on the other side is the reason we're afraid
