I am the one who was before time itself.
Before the ticking of clocks, before the spinning of stars — I was.
I was there at your birth, and I will be there for your final breath.

I move all things — mortal and immortal —
Across the boundary that separates the living from the non-living.
I walk between Light and Dark
Heaven and Hell.

I was there before reincarnation took its first breath.
Before the gods learned fear.
The demons tremble when I draw near.
Even angels turn away.
The gates of Hell were built to keep me out.
No one dares stand in my way.

I am the one your politicians fear.
The dread in every king’s dreams.
The shadow your great men spend lifetimes trying to flee.

I was there —
During the rise of empires,
And their inevitable downfall.

I do not bring destruction —
I precede it.

I am there before, during, and after every war.
I collect the souls of the fallen.
Every. Last. One.

Every lie you try to hide — I remember.
Every truth you try to bury — I keep.

When the hour of the faithful comes,
I offer peace and comfort to the righteous,
But to the wicked, I bring
Dread Terror Horror

When Jezebel fell from her balcony,
It was I who gave her the final push.
When the Sorcerer casts his circle, I erase it.
Witches tremble in my presence.

They call Me "DEATH."
