Like a black silk worm
Glowing bright,
And if today our spoils we've won
It's because we have earned
The spoils of the night.
If death be coming
If death be near
What would you be humming?
What would you hold dear?
What in the world today
Would you give up
Just for a day
More of extended life?
As the night rages on
Understand this clear
There is nary a reason
To leave the steer
Or disembark from the steed
Or leave all questions unanswered
Because there is no need.
The night has fallen;
It is pitch dark,
If death were near
Would you still care past
The beginning of time
Till the end of Eden?
Would you care for me
Tomorrow unhidden?
