The cruelty of death
Oh death how cruel are thou?
Oh where are thou left the poor to stake?
Thou has been crown as the wages of sin
Sinners think otherwise because of you
Loved ones sing songs of life
But thou has forsaken them
Where we
Even where we mean to live you strike us
Where hath thou leave those permissions
Needed to take the throne
Death roam about like a snake without a home
Looking for where to rule
Loved ones sing songs of life
But thou has forsaken them
Death!!
An anemy of mankind
The reasons for weeping
Life span is in your keeping
No one has seen reasons for peeping
Into the ways you are ruling
Some die without a cause
Some die with a cause
Loved ones sing songs of life
But thou has forsaken them
Big fries have come and were struck
Small fries have come and were struck
By the cruelty of death as the king
Death!! The wages of sin
And then the remains say what a life!!
And weep over spilled water
Wishing they could bring back the dead
Loved ones sing songs of life
But thou has forsaken them
