Array ( [sid] => 141727 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Oh Death! [time] => 2008-04-20 14:48:08 [hometext] => Your day is coming! [bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh Death

Oh, how horrid the news!
How loathsome is this day!
Deaths putrid presence comes
To steal my friend away

How dare you take my friend!
Whose heart's solid gold,
How dare your evil grace!
Be so undiscerning, so cold

Who are you to judge us?
Answer, oh death, if you can
To silence the sirens voice
Of such a kind and gentle man

Aw but death your day is coming!
You, whose mercy is pretend
My friend will live forever
And you shall have an end!

Oh yes, I know you!
Your destiny as well
When all's said and done
You'll be thrust into hell

And he shall live forever
From your merciless grip be free
All the grief, the sorrow you cause
Will one day turn to glee

Yes, I too shall feel your touch
Your cold breath upon my heart
My loved ones too shall grieve
Their hearts broken, torn apart

Yet I know when man's faith,
In God's grace is put to the test.
You'll be cast forever into darkness.
Where such arrogance finds no rest!

You'll gather no more souls oh reaper!
Be no more the scourge of man's days
Be no more haunting but defeated
By the heart that prays!
