Angel of Death

Your wings are black, the sky is tight
Born to the night, spreading fright
Silence echoes, like a scream’s might
Angel of death, you’re a storm in flight.

Cold winds touch the skin so bare,
Steps echo deep in the lair.
Darkness reigns in every thread,
One breath is enough; you’ll fall dead.

Your wings are black, stars freeze in despair
Darkness calls, hearts ensnare
A tear falls, fate becomes clear
Angel of death, burning through the air.

Time stands still, all slows down,
Fear takes root, battles crown.
With a touch, the curtain falls,
Eternal sleep in silent halls.

Your wings are black, shadows abide
Stealing hope, a cold storm rides
The last breath echoes, fate decides
Angel of death, flows with the tide.

The cry of souls rises deep inside
Life’s traces vanish, nowhere to hide.
Time halts, light fades in a blink,
Angel of death, closer than you think.

Your wings are black, life you bind
Like an autumn leaf swept by the wind
In silence, a scream burns within
Angel of death, to eternity pinned.
