Death Shadow

People all around die
I don't know what to do
Slowly, but swiftly I am forced to say goodbye
I'm numb through and through

One by one they slip away
Will I see them again soon
Is this death shadow above me here to stay
So dark it covers the moon

When will the death stop
Who will be the next one to go
I wait for the bodies to drop
And the dark blood to flow

Standing in this graveyard
Mourning all the dead
This depression is so hard
As through the gravestones I tread

I look upon the names engraved
Of the loved ones I used to know
To the grief I am enslaved
Though sometimes it may not show

As I come to the last shrine
I look for the name of the deceased
But the name I find is mine
Now from all the pain maybe I will be released
