Unrattled

Death he welcomes me
Takes me in his arms
Soothes the savage beast
Leaving me disarmed
Unrattles what lay
Deep inside of me
Disrupts dormant rage
Wanting to be free
Hope beyond the grave
The light overwhelms
Shadows bring release
Let the voices quell
I am on my knees
When the demon preys
In the stark of day
My soul torn and raped
Death is life my way
