Death's Welcome

Death with his eyes dark as pit
And his mouth a skull's grin
Opens up his feathered arms
And welcomes mortals in.

Oh winged Sparrow
Oh crawling Worm
Creatures of both innocence and sin
Man and Bird and Beast in time
Will all be welcomed in.

Death is no Tyrant
or Lord or Evil Thing
But an inevitable force
That will welcome you in.
