Ransoming Death

You couldn’t wait another moment
You couldn’t depart without him
So in your shadowy stealth
You extinguished his flame

And there was nothing but darkness
You had made your presence felt
When he breathed his last breath
Job done you went back to hide in Hades

You just robbed me of a friend
Robbed a son his dad
Robbed wife a husband
Siblings sibling all in one whisk

Oh cowardly dark death
Living in shadows in your deep dens
What price would you ask to ransom a life?
Name it so I’ll pay you off soyou'll keep off my friends’ lives

Say the amount and I’ll buy a gun and go robbing banks
And get you all the cash you want
If its jewels you’ll ask
I’ll get you every carat of gold and diamond there is in the world

Take NOT none of my dear ones I can’t endure the loss
Rather take me in their place
For even if you wreck my frame you’ll never douse my flame
My light will stay alive even through the wind and the rain
