Death

I am the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
Created with one single blow
A solution turned to by those in dire times of need
Where grief and despair come to feed
I am the start, I am the end
Lurking around every bend
No matter what you do
I will always find you
I know no mercy, know no fear
So, answer to my frightening sneer
In times of war, in times of peace
No matter what, I shall never cease
I shall always come for you, claim what is mine
It’s just a matter of time, my friend
It’s just a matter of time.
