I'll walk down the road of eternity
My partner hand-in-hand beside me
I'll ask of his name
And he replies "Death" to me
And we continue our merry gait

As we walk slowly, I ask where he's from
He replies, "Where they all go when their time is done"
And though I know not who they are
To listen is fun
As we travel afar

Death looks at me
As he smiles quietly
He murmurs a inquiry
Asks if I had a reply
As to why walked with me
.
Confused I replied
Something of friendship
Death chuckled and shoved me down
Fear bloomed in my belly
For Death's feet did not touch the ground

It was only then
I knew my friend
Was truly the master
Of when one's time ends

And in fear I stopped
And Death smiled at me
And before I could turn back
He closed the door to reality
