Please don't shiver from my fingers
Dont cry when you feel my breath
This is not a result of your mistakes
Please don't fear me, Please don't fear death

Greet me as an old friend
Greet me with your head held high
Come with me on your own terms
So you have a chance to say goodbye

Understand, I am not evil
My eyes can fill with love
I don't want to take you with me
For there is no land above

You have been the most courageous
Bravest I've ever seen
But things like that don't matter now
It doesn't matter who you've been

I will cradle you in my arms
Try to make your death more mild
But it pains me in my placid heart
When I have to take a child.
