Cold cadavers

Cold cadavers

Cold cadavers we’re bound to be;

Life will end and you’ll breathe no more;

Death for us all is a certainty.

I ponder the end unwittingly;

It sometimes terrifies me for sure;

Cold cadavers we’re bound to be.

In the shadow of mortality,

I rarely acknowledge what’s in store;

Death for us all is a certainty.

I saw a man die suddenly;

He was laughing mere seconds before;

Cold cadavers we’re bound to be.

Life seems a pointless futility;  

We eat, drink and shit, but what’s it all for?

Death for us all is a certainty.

We each of us face eternity;

If death came now, I’d clutch at a straw;

Cold cadavers we’re bound to be;

Death for us all is a certainty.
