damp earth

willyweed

A life well lived

still leads us back

straight to old death's door

I thought he was a stranger, once

but now I am not so sure

He looks so familiar now

Have I seen his face before

I pounded on the portal then

With nothing left to do

So say your prayers

And pack your bags

For death will come for you

The earth is damp

When we dig the graves

For the King's of the castles

And the lowest of knaves
