Behold the very old man

who is drawing the last breath

He gave up all the useless fear

of the black hand of death.

Look at the splendid beauty

who is yet rotting from within,

She dated death not long ago

when she indulged in sin.

Watch the murder victim

who is struggling to stay alive,

resistance will be futile though

it's butchered by the knife.

Listen to the prayers

intended to turn away

the shadow of the grim reaper

who has but come to stay.

From his stranglehold

you can not run and hide

the reaper will harvest your life

he will not be denied.
