Death

Death rides and the old man cries, where on earth can he hide

This transformation that he fears, he knows not where he'll end

Will he burn in hell and rot, damned for eternity

Or will he re-incarnate once more and face this life again

Metamorphosis, a necessary transformation

A halfway point 'tween dusk and dawn, a husk that must be shorn

Death comes and the wise man sings

A glorious day has arrived

This transformation he welcomes

He'll fly to the other side

He knows he'll not rot in the crypt

Worms food for eternity

Death is not the end he knows

But a time when the soul is free

Cast in the abyss what waits for thee

New life beginning or re-incarnate eternally

Will you find the answers before your time

You're on your way, don't know what you'll find

The gods have your answers but they're not in your mind
