Come out from the shadows, come close by my side - when the hospital machines began to beep I knew it was time.

Come a little closer so I can see your face - tell me reaper is this the end of the race.

I do not fear you, I do not fear the pain - the only thing I fear is never seeing my family again.

I'll miss so much when my soul you take - will this happen soon when I'm asleep or awake.

My family will cry and I can't comfort them - that truly feels like the end.

Let me hear your voice, the words you are going to say - do I have much longer before you take me away.

Why do you hide in the dark, are you waiting for my last breath - will you step closer to take me to death.

I have no more fight, I'm now rung dry - I'm ready to go and leave this life.

But do I have time to say goodbye.....

My dying friend - this is not the end.

Do not fear me I'm taking you home - I'm here so your not alone.

I hide in shadows because you all fear me - I wait until the end when you need to see me.

I'm sorry you have no choice but to leave - your body is now tired you're struggling to breathe.

You now have to leave this life - but you have others waiting for you to arrive.

I am the reaper you may know me as grim - I do not take people on an urge or a whim.

I only arrive when life has run out of time, there is no more path to walk down - out of the shadows I appear as a man or hound.

So come with me friend, goodbyes are not necessary - Your love ones say goodbye when it's time to bury.

It's never really bye but only I'll see you soon -you all eventually have to come home.

But trust in this... my friend for sure - life is the scary part after death there is more.
