Oh my, death has crawled upon me...
Ever so suddenly.
I wait for its call.
Yes, I'm quite appalled.
Was there a mistake?
Was the wrong information underneath the paperweight?
This couldn't be possibly true!
Especially when I was as good as you.
Well... I guess it's time to accept the truth.
And, wait for immoral punishment of rue.
NO! WAIT!!! I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!
I still have so much to live for!
I don't recall ever doing anything bad.
How could you take me and leave my family sad?
No, I won't go unless I'm dragged down in chains!
I don't care, I can endure the pain.
How can you make me leave the only child of mine?
After I vowed when she was born, to never leave her behind.
How can you be so heartless and cruel?
Remembering only your one revengeful rule?
My child is very sick
From the infectious bite of a tick...
But do you care...?
No, you are unaware.
Death has come and I shall delay you no more...
Just tell my daughter she will see me
Before she turns four.
