He has always been proud
Where does time end
Where does it all stop
Who decided it should begin
Why should our lives be determined by Him
I'll wait at the ocean for all of time
Just for you to discover that you are mine
Death was never proud, he has always been with us
befriending me even now...
Maybe if He is not feared he might just go away
What he took from me can never be replaced
but now I fear him not for he is mine, yes
Death I now own you for all of time...
If you should try and consume me like many others before
I have already defeated you in these past few days, too many times
too many ways, I almost gave up, I almost fell to your feet
I almost said to You that my life was complete
You are not as bad as people made you out to be, see
I know your face is only destiny, it's true you might own lives
but you dont control mine
Cowardly You hid behind shadows and problems
so galiant and brave, but my knight came and
I have saved my own, the life you tried to own
has now ceased your throne...
Death was always proud my dear Shakespeare
but not anymore, I have defeated him once more
I never gave in to his call or his cry of fading love
You may still exist my dear Death but existance
for you is past and will never be present and
My future with you is very very distant.
