Death being someone being hard to beat and no cheating.

He always finds a way to hurt you, breaking your heart as time passes.

Getting close to him myself is a sight to see.

Drinking my problems away, being friends with the Captains and Jacks.

Seeing doubles as my head does laps around itself.

Then a cold icy feeling on the shoulder, running down your spine.

With lips so blue as the ocean and your face pale as sand.

Squaring off the look with death as he chats with you.

Saying it's not your time and have so much left of it.

Just shaking his head sadly as another fool wastes away his life.

Not staying long but to laugh at your face.
