Eternal Mystery - What are you?
Perennial Enigma - What's in you?
Forever haunting, silently creeping,
The Final Word - why are you?
Are you pain? Do you hurt?
And does the dying soul feel loss?
Does the soul feel sad or glad
To leave this world forever at last?
Why do you come? Where do you take?
Piercing smiles with sharp-edged stakes.
What do you get? What is your prize
For leaving laughter with misty eyes?
What are you, O' Death, answer!
Endless pain? Or soothing release?
What's in you? And why are you?
Eternal Mystery, answer please.
