The death

O Lord, death has come
It flows in red blood
Like a river to the sea
All our hearts are saddened, for
We are death


These souls taken
Injured by humanity
Tortured by us
Beaten by madness,
Over and over, for
We are death


A salt sea
It bitters and disgusts
Leaves repugnance
And we drown in it, for
We are death


Night and stars
Cannot save the dead
That the hand took
Took from life


Black has covered the earth
Air has been sucked away
The flower has wilted
And the garden has died
For we of humanity
We are shamed forever, for
We are death


Tears stream down cheeks
Blood flows in rivers
Rain falls in torrents
To sweep away the pain

For we are death
