To plead
For more time
To bargain
For one’s life
Pointless
To demand
Unthinkable
To bribe
Sometimes
A friend
Then again
A foe
The chase of danger
To defy death
A Russian roulette
Death has won
Death arrives
Without fanfare
Death claims
Without notice
A veil covers
Death is hidden
Mystery unsolved
The dead silent
To call it sleep
No coming back
Some seek out
To hug death
The long night
Waiting for dawn
The first rays
Is death waiting
No escape
It is destiny
We all will die
No one escape
To crossover
The body dies
Life after death
The soul lives on
Faith, Believe
The Lamb crucified
The tomb empty
The Resurrection
