Death's Daughter

Her spirit follows the river winding
Down into the bloodstained ocean
On and on and never minding
Walking through the valley of darkness

Red drops fall into the ocean
Crimson staining all the shores
Death opens his gates for his daughter
Silky robes sweep his paths

She walked beside the moon at midnight
Embracing life as it slipped by
Now she looks up to the dark light
Softly denting deaths black grass

She bows down to her father
He reaches out a cold dead hand
Graceful just as he had taught her
Her beauty could not be surpassed

He swiftly took the life left in her
Cradle snatched she was so young
On earth she did not want to linger
Free from all her pain at last

No mortals wept beside her gravestone
No one even shed a tear
No longer would she be on her own
With death around she would not fear
