Death's Orders
The beach still foams
Even in the dusky frost
When clouds are homes
To a world that's been lost
Arriving is tricky and leaving is harder
But all end up running away
And entering Death's harbor
Where it never is day
While the night shines in armor
Battles have been fought
Mankind aching with sorrow
The world seems like naught
There might be no tomorrow
But waiting on the harbor
You must realize
That death is bound to be
Oh world! Can't you see?
All life ends from the hand of a tuner
There's no point in having man ending it sooner
Death is a moment when all families cry
And their darling is smiling down from the sky
Telling them all troubles will end someday
Even if somehow there's a big price to pay
But life is eternal, may no death defy it
All life is precious, even ones who are silent
So at the harbor of death, don't look down
Remember your memories without a frown
Love those near to you, love those who are not
For death is something all people inevitably bought
**Lost Snicket**
