Dancing With Death

It seeks him, he's known it has for years
It's followed him since birth
It does not care what he's have achieved
It cares not for his worth

It's followed him through many a land
He's ducked and dived, he's dodged it's plan
He's always been one step ahead
But it never rests, step by step it slowly treads

So here they are,
They'll do this ancient dance
His mind not fogged by sleep
And not the walk of the somnambulant

He will stand his ground, not shrinking
And he will bring this fight
It's what he's long been planning for
Throughout his entire life

He's done rights and wrongs
And he's done the horrible chores
The choices were always his to make
And none were ever yours

But one to be counted he is
He rose and and always can
You weren't there in body, heart or soul,
The failing of the plan

Just a blackened tool to achieve an aim
The darkest pawn in the longest game
No feeling when you swing that scythe
You have never felt or understood,
The sanctity of life

In this time and moment
this is simply where they are
He hope's your tired and exhausted
For you have traveled far

He always knew you were coming
But he lived so full,
He's been loved and has been loving
Now it's time to play that tune

He says come on ancient friend
it's time for us to move
Your weapon won't hit
And you know it cannot wound

I will move so fast that
your eyes will bleed
You can't cut down
A soul that's free

Your bony twisted face can never scare no more
That child is now forgotten, you made it go to war
The one you perfectly groomed and planned
With all those souls doomed and dammed

So I guess it's time for us to dance
To take my soul, your final chance
If you should win then I will bow
But I've lived life so full, and you never will know how
