A Dying Breath
Don’t forget the day Death died
It was horrifying
But slightly mystifying
But mostly terrifying
Because he was dying
The demons started to cry
And they screamed so loud, oh my
We all knew He had to die
Nobody wanted to sigh
It was odd to hear His last breath
Because He was Death
It was a long time ago:
When it was fashion to speak with ‘thee’, ‘thou’, and ‘eth’
Chills ran through my head
Because the thing I feared was dead
And no longer under my bed
There was no longer a corpse party
In this empty city
Our minds became faulty
The only thing that lingered was nobody
We always remember the day Death died
And how nobody felt tied
All our brains were fried
From seeing the world’s cracking hide
