Began the court proceedings
in the state hall of hell
Life was the opponent lawyer
and the judge rang the bell.

Pleaded death to be set free
'Lemme go away
i committed no offence
for this time gimme a chance'

So fearful was death
that
sweat made its black clothing wet.

So afraid was death
of its own death
that
it knelt its knees for mercy.

Then the order was issued
and defence lawyer could do nothing
death was executed
and buried with its clothing.
