Death's Call

Its tempting whispers play by my ear
The sound of freedom, the abolition of fear
A promise to make my pains no more
and return life to my frozen core

Goosebumps rise, and drool falls
like a dog lost in a storm
I hear my master's call
My shivering body begins to feel warm

As bridges burned and hope became lost
I found no one but you in the midst of the chaos
When everything looked down, you looked up
a fickle thought at first, but you've grown up a lot

I wished you away many a time
but times have changed, and so have I
The truth is disgusting, and I could not swallow
This band of liars I could never follow

Let me hear your low hymn once more
So I may indulge your wish
And my soul can find peace at death's door
