Mother

Mother,
let me close my eyes
and dream of endless skies

Mother,
let me close my eyes
and look through the disguise

Look through this false life
into the abyss of the afterlife

Mother,
will you guide me
Through this sorrow land

Mother,
will you guide me
Through this last stand

Soothe me and take my hand
as she reap my life’s last strand

Mother,
let me rest on your shoulder
as my soul grows colder

Mother,
hug me in a bed of flower
and lay my body in a steel tower

Let me cry, for my time has drawn near
Oh, Mother, let me cry,
till my mind is devoid of fear
For the reaper is finally here
skinning me, tier after tier
