Swept up onto the wings of a dove,
None could stop it.
Sheol would separate him and life's love.
Scooped away into the pit,
Taken in the darkness of night,
The candle of life snuffed out - a candle once brightly lit.
Laughter decreased as time
Flew away on the times wing.
A second round, closer to the heart this time.
One last night together,
Joy, pain, laughter...
Doesn't love last forever?
He's passing by now, going
The shadows of his soul-
His physical breath slowing.
A mans soul goes on forever,
But this world must let go.
Through deaths door you must endeavor
The pit laughs with joy
- it cackles
As it clenches the life of _...
Where has my grandfather gone?
To Heaven or Hell?
Is it my worry where his life's gone wrong?
I love to return home,
where innocence grew,
And my family left me not alone.
I do not want to experience round two!
Life's too short!
Death too soon....
Grief now takes over
my heart is broke!
Thank God I have no worldly lover!
My life is nothing to me,
It's Christ's alone!
He sees through me.
Grief overcomes
- it's too strong!
My heart too weak to live some...
It's not as bad as it seems,
I'm sure.
This too will pass, life will again, with light, teem!
But now, together, we walk,
This dark and cold corridor,
And in hushed voices we talk.
