Every night I dream of death
Visions transfixed by burning flesh
All those I hold dear
In moments rich of sadness and full of fear
Silently perish upon the dark canvass of my eyelids
Every day I see Death's shadow
I feel his presence deep in my marrow
He means no threat upon me
Just serves as a reminder of my mortality
So every night after my dreams of death
When I awake with a pounding heart in my chest
I go to take a deep breath
And relish the fact that its not my night to die
