Where I Walk

Death my friend

Where I walk death follows,

Striking fear into the heart of men

Only those who doubt not life,

Shall survive till the greater end

So, I beg thee, do not fall

Or you’ll risk lost and losing all

Because he, the dark specter

My companion with whom I’m at odds

Awaits to make toast in your favor

And bestow upon you the slumbering nod.
