Death God
Unnoticed in human sight
Saw only in the blind dark
Invisible to those who see light
Hidden until you start that spark
I am something lost
I am the one they fear
If you see you will pay the cost
Only the evil will I go near
I am the one with wings
I am punishments blade
Your death my voice sings
To me your debts are paid
But one gets bored of the black
Of the emptiness and the pain
Been so long since I felt what I lack
The dullness drives me insane
But dear lord do you see
How I suffer doing what you need
Do you pity me, then set me free
Let me run from this evil seed
