Death arises upon darkened wings
A personification of the ill most dreaded
Tradition suggests the blackest black toils solo
Black was never a hue but the absence of illumination
Intangible skull fixed upon an explicit destination
One entity to chaperon souls to eternity or damnation
Enter, the woman in white
Piercing light renders the eye useless
Just as blackness conjures the eye into non-existence
Death has not assistance nor counterpart
No, Nephthys brings death a competition
He does not revel in your demise
She’d rather pluck life from your heart
Not career or ambition
His is to duty, as hers is to ruin
Death does not hasten his arrival
For he is just the courier
Nephthys will strike you dead where you stand
Death follows the path of fate
She surges ahead of destiny to intercede
At the end of all things, Death will be consumed
And Nephthys will have her last meal
