Death
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 1/4
I was once told a tale
By a man in a cloak
Though he was deathly pale
A bright fire he’d stoke
In the depths of his eyes
Yet it burnt very cold
It destroyed all the lies
To disprove truth of old
Because when the man spoke
I found I fell in line
A deadly masterstroke
A divinity sign
Not a mark of the gods
But mastery of mind
A true read of the odds
And all things that they bind
And I found, as he talked
That though he had not said
I just knew, me he’d stalked
For my thoughts he had read
And I did know his name
He was here for my breath
He had shown me the game
Of my late chat with Death
