-
Lay and rest, weary soldier,
As you have fought long and hard.
You have finally finished the arduous task
Of protecting the land you guard.
You have survived the toils of war
And your enemies lie slain.
Now lay your head and rest, weary soldier,
So that you may ease your pain.
But remember, man of war
Of your comrades that have been stilled.
And the sacrifices you have made
And of the people that you’ve killed.
Remember this, survivor,
That all life does end.
That your soul belongs to me – Death
And I am not your friend.
Sins matter not, old soldier,
Nor your good deeds.
Your kindness means nothing,
And neither does your greed,.
King or peasant, thief or knight
Your life may be free,
But as all living things,
You soul belongs to me
So lay and rest, slayer of men
And let you dreams be sweet.
As I patiently await the time
When we shall finally meet.

- Title: Death
- Artist: Insanity Renaissance
- Description: A short poem I wrote about a soldier who has returned home from war, being observed by Death, or the Grim Reaper, or whatever you'd like to call it. It was originally a poem that I used for a Gaia RP header and footer for my shinigami character, but I added more to it. Writing this made me think of all the people I know that have passed away, and wonder if such as thing as Death being an entity really does exist.
