Senseless Death

Death is blind
Death is deaf
yet it is dumb

Death is senseless
Absolutely at that
So much so
To the kings door
It knocks upon
From a mother's womb
It feeds thereof

If death had a way
Heavens gate it will shake
The chains of hell
It will break
Searching a new soul to take

Senseless
As death may seem
Upon every soul
Still it sneaks
Taking from any
As it wills.
