On a scroll all names are written
One by one they are mentioned
Who knows who's next on the list
My day draws near every second a clock ticks
A place of silence and darkness awaits me
All flesh face same blade
It puts a sunder even renown mighty men of valor
Both beautiful and handsome alike
It knows no age nor status quo
It has no notification nor a messenger
Its ways are unknown and peevish
If it will be through a freaky accident I can't tell
Who knows if it will be through a deadly disease?
May be an old age when my strength fails
Its jaws are ever open with unceasing appetite
This enemy we all face in our world
It had sapped and drained unseen visions
Its belly is rich with undiscovered potentials
Strength and pillars of nations drowns in its dirt
When will you be satisfied oh enemy?
Great king and queen fears this enemy
It robs palace peace and authority
It's bounds to destroy both great and small
Our beloved ones sleep and sighs no more
Who's next on the list?
