When all I knew turned their backs on me I journeyed through lands far and wide Searching for something to comfort me But nothing could stand the test of time I tried to find strength in my solitude But I couldn’t find anything there to love Inside of me I found only misery And thoughts that would lead me astray To Death, what a wondrous mystery Death, my mortal enemy Death, my would-be saviour Death, my eternal horror The path I travelled, was riddled with many turns And whether it twisted or twirled, he'd always follow closely behind Disguised as an ally, but always eager to strike Offering a quick escape whenever I faced a challenge or fight The closer I got to unravel the secrets of life He'd trick me into a destructive spiral of strife When my foe thought he vanquished me Out of the darkness I rose from my grave Now that his veil has fallen I'm no longer trapped under a spell Of Death, once a wondrous mystery Death, my mortal enemy Death, my would-be saviour Death, my eternal horror Now I finally see through his devious plans Because I have found the value of the man I am
