Death Hurts only the Living - Lecherous Nocturne

As death manifests, when the mind has died, nothing’s left

Final debt has come to collect, the light now laid to rest

The soul is shed, memories all fade in time

Beauty once, now ash

Silent now what was alive

Cast off, forsaken by the lifeless

Abandonment, a punishment bestowed upon the one’s left

Divine request has fallen on the ears of one who is deaf

Discard, neglect by the unsighted

The last respects conclusion to existence in the life past

Prefound effect, a merciless seclusion

Eternal continuum, a spiritual vacuum

In the mind of those they leave behind

Who seek an end to pain, an answer or a sign

No answers

Eternal continuum, a spiritual vacuum

Death hurts only the living
