death song

By -
this time, as i close my eyes
i'm ready for my judge
heavy sentence already served
i, with smile, bear no grudge

an unrepentant heathen
for my god is He you bow before
my soul, forever mine

i stretch my demon wings
my halo shimmers gold
i reach above, and reach below
returning to the world of old
