The Angel of Death

The angel of death walks silent and near Feared by the hearts that hold on to fear Hated by those who beg for more time Yet none can escape the end of the line Can you outrun the hands of the clock? Can you hold back the tide on the rock When your last breath fades in the night Will you wish for one more life Oh, the body will crumble, the soul will remain Echoing voices like whispers in rain Creation is endless, but flesh turns to dust Only love and our deeds can outlive the rust The cities have fallen, the rivers ran dry Under the heavens, the lost ones still cry But time is a circle, the world will renew What's broken may heal if the heart still holds true Oh, the body will crumble, the soul will remain Echoing voices like whispers in rain Creation is endless, but flesh turns to dust Only love and our deeds can outlive the rust One soul should lift another, one hand should hold the weak For when we stand together, it's eternity we seek The angel of death walks silent and near Not as a shadow, but wisdom sincere For those who have loved, who have lived with grace No death is a doorway, not the end of the race Thanks for watching
