Who Will Be Next

The darkness of Death
Steals life with an intake of its breath.

We hate this evil foe,
But all we can do is lay low,

Wondering if we will be the next
To enter the "Book of the Dead's" text.

We can do nothing but wait
To meet our deadly fate.

Who will be the next to enter Death's embrace?
Who will be the next to see God's face?
