Cursed by Death

[Aerick Ravenheart]

We are all like music
composed to decompose
stretched beyond our limit
and outer realm spectrum
of inconceivable violence
it is simply inevitable
Dance of the dead
I watched them from within
the shadows as they
all laughed and drank merrily
Yet it is inevitable
Death will take us all
one by one and it will not
be pretty or beautiful
in the slightest
First the body fluids run
like cockroaches across
the skin of decay
And then you may say
the carcass stinks with
rotten organs as the blood
bruises where one has lain
We shall each be slain
all God's creatures doomed
to this future I foresee
While others choose to ignore
Their own demise
Of the thought they shall rot
and fester with the maggots
and flies oh so true
the sunny side smiles are lies
to hide their fear that
our own judgement days
draw closer and near
with each living year
so drink another shot
Tonite is what we got
to be happy about
Dancing
The scurrying of mortals
Drinking
The numbing of the mind
to ease the pain
for within the brain
lies the truth
death
Don't go insane
just thinking about it
You cannot stop it
Smile sweet child
mommy and daddy are here
never fear
The boogeyman isn't real
but death himself is
and that is much worse
of a position
the mortician then the hearse
life is but a curse
