Death

Death (music & lyrics by Shamgar)

 When all I knew turned their backs on me, I journeyed through lands far and wide. Searching for something to comfort me, but nothing could stand the test of time. I tried to find strength in my solitude, but I couldn’t find anything there to love Inside of me I found only misery and thoughts that would lead me astray to Death, what a wondrous mystery Death, my mortal enemy Death, my would-be saviour Death, my eternal horror The path I travelled, was riddled with many turns and whether it twisted or twirled, he'd always follow closely behind. Disguised as an ally, but always eager to strike Offering a quick escape whenever I faced a challenge or fight The closer I got to unravel the secrets of life He'd trick me into a destructive spiral of strife When my foe thought he vanquished me, Out of the darkness I rose from my grave. Now that his veil has fallen I'm no longer trapped under a spell of Death, once a wondrous mystery Death, my mortal enemy Death, my would-be saviour Death, my eternal horror Now I finally see through his devious plans, because I have found the value of the man I am.
