The Greetings of Death


The Greetings of Death It won’t be long before death greets me Time flies by as my youth fades On that very day I will not weep I look to no regrets for the troubles I made I do not live perfect, but I do live free Acceptance in the end, for I call to the waking dead The expression on deaths face I do wish to see No apologies will be given, nor will tears shed Whatever the future holds I will gladly see I do not look back, forever living in the moment Today or tomorrow I continue to walk with my feet With the torch of life, I face death as an opponent Lying in the bed of life choices I make Approaching the greetings of death with every breath I take
