I fear

The day I won’t return to you

For

Irons crossed my palm

Death

Is knocking at the gate for me

Bells

Won’t toll in my name

I yearn

For the day I taste you one more

Still

Fortune hides from me

Bleed

As I die on my feet

Pain

Follows endlessly

Fortitude conceals itself

Volition has its way with me

Palms crossed with iron and gold

Fortunes told my destiny sold

Hammers crush

Chains lash the skin

Death comes for all

Can’t you hear them sing?

Death

Is where we meet again

Love

Stolen as I bleed out

Pain

Follows in the shadows

Dream

Forlorn in the dirt

Fortitude conceals itself

Volition has its way with me

My head is placed upon the block

I shut my eyes wait for the drop

The hammer strikes

The iron wrought

My hands are tied

The rope is taut

Palms crossed with iron and gold

Fortunes told my destiny sold

Hammers crush

Chains lash the skin

Death comes for all

Can’t you hear them sing?
