Death's Door

Life is so infinitely fragile
We sail the seas of love
And passion means nothing
When everything is said and done.

Death is so completely final
And hearts sink in abysmal ink
As we strum our fingers
And try hard not to think.

Cataclysmic cannons fire upon
The lives and deaths of past
As through it all sorrow stands
Within midst of breaths last.

(chorus)

Did you see the sun today?
Did you wisp the morning air?
Have you tasted the first dew.
At death's door, it's not fair.

Beginnings pretend to prove love
We feel, hate, pant and wonder
What is on the opposite side
As life fades from the thunder.

Out spoken killer regrets nothing
Watching the children quickly die
Death steps in and takes hold
Upon the youth of power and we cry.

Peace only comes to those kind
And death pursues any who struggle
But we can plainly, truly see
Your memories display affectionate lulls.

(chorus)

Did you see the sunset today?
Did you soak in the violet rays?
Have you smelled the fall?
At death's door, the final days.

The demon takes charge
And the suffering begins
But through it all now
She casts a smile at it's sin.

(repeat both chorus')
