The Peace of Death

"Pax Mortis"

The peace of death is swift I hear;
You slip away as folks around you jeer
And laugh at your cause.

The peace of death is cruel I know;
Your predator leaves your flesh in the snow
To be devoured by sour scavengers.

The peace of death is sweet I feel;
You resent your life and so are peeled
Away from it by a kind soul.

The peace of death is relief I think;
The earth is really full of a stink,
Perhaps it's the first realm of Hell?

The end of life is death I hear;
No more lies, no more fear.
The release from an empty world.
