These Cold Hands
- I've heard a tale,
- Of a fountain of hope.
- It's waters restore,
- What we have lost.
- Never have I,
- Looked for its grace.
- -
- Please, sir Death,
- Wait, to reap me.
- Spare me, spare me,
- Thy ode of demise,
- He, prepares his song.
- -
- I grow old, and cold, cold hands,
- Grasp and claw at my being.
- Please sir Death,
- Wait, to reap me.
- Harbinger of all,
- He waits for his yield.
- -
- This fountain of hope,
- May it grace me with youth.
- He conducts,
- As his agents do play,
- His, foul, ode.
- -
- I search, and search,
- And have yet, to find it.
- The Fountain of Life.
- May its waters, grace me.
- I grow older, still.
- These cold, cold, hands.
- -
- He has yet to show mercy,
- My soul is an ember,
- For him to snuffle out.
- I search beyond,
- To the edges of time,
- There do I find a strange spire.
- -
- Please, sir Death,
- Wait, to reap me.
- Spare me, spare me,
- Thy ode of demise.
- He, prepares his song.
- -
- This spire contains,
- The strangest of things,
- A stone, a hole bored in its core.
- From this pit, this endless cavern,
- Waters that shine in the sun.
- I raise my hands,
- To grasp this cure.
- -
- Please, sir Death,
- Wait, to reap me.
- Spare me, spare me,
- Thy ode of demise.
- He, prepares his song.
- -
- With a dying breath,
- I lower my hands.
- I sip from the glory of God.
- My soul is ablaze,
- The ember restored.
- My being is intact,
- Sir Death, I laugh.
- -
- It wasn't I,
- Who had the last laugh,
- Sir Death had been waiting,
- Planning my doom.
- He wanted me dead,
- But I rebelled and said,
- "Please, show mercy,
- I've ventured so far!"
- -
- He shook his head,
- Or so I saw.
- He raised his hand,
- His scythe, of shadows,
- Appeared at his very whim.
- With one final movement,
- He pierced my being,
- He harvested the ash of my soul.
- -
- To this, I warn thee,
- Accept your fate.
- Sir Death is waiting.
- Oh, young boy,
- Don't tempt Death.
- -
- Sir Death is waiting.
