Death Speaks: No. 4, Pain Changes

pain changes every shape once you are truly lonely you will never be alone feel my hand I feel you touch my cold hand I will take you from her to your new cold land I have chosen you my only love those others they search for you but where they search they will never find you after the leaves fall, spring returns after love is parted, it returns all you have to do is come with me and wait one day she will be lowered in the earth beside you my hand will guide her home to the place where love is and no pain when that door opens you will be healed dearest man, dearest woman dearest boy, dearest girl dearest mother, dearest father dearest son, dearest daughter you will never leave me you listen you are silent you feel me leaning towards you nothing escapes me not the warrior not the hunter everything awaits the way it changes when life falls away that is the meaning of the swan and its song the night can't last forever nor will this sleep beyond this sleep is light forever light until that light can shine until you see it shining sleep sweetly here in the cool, dark night
