Surrendering to the Cold Embrace of Death

The reaper comes to all. No heart has he, for he steals away not only the old and infirm, but also the young, icily gripping them in their trepidation when he’s in their sight though some he takes as they sleep through the night. If he should appear when you are conscious, you should not fight against him, for if your time to meet him is fated, your prayers will go unheard. Surrender to the cold embrace of Death. He shall carry you to the warmth of God’s light.
