The light fades all around you

Everything devoid of warmth

A figure stands before you

Beckoning you towards

We all get but one lifetime

Be it days or years

Fear not when your time comes

Your suffering is done

The mysteries of the universe

Soon will be laid bare

Outside of time and space

You’re guided from this plane

Scientists and theologians

Yearn to know what you’ll soon learn

Come find your destiny

Return now to the stars

Accept that it’s now over

The page has been turned

All questions will be answered

With the flapping of black wings

Eternity

Or nothingness

Formless voids

Endless abyss

Look to the stars

That give no light

Carry me away on black wings

Rejoice

Your time has been served

Gone from this earth

You’re finally free

The trial has ended

The verdict is reached

Your sentence of life

Is completed in full

You have been released

Just one lifetime

It’s yours to waste

Do what thou wilt

With the time you are granted

Just one lifetime

Live without regret

No expectation

Of some just reward

Carry me away on black wings

I shall not fear death
