How Sweetly Death Doth Come
Oh, how sweetly Death doth come
for those whose hearts hath died.
If love and fear art not
to keep thee shackled down any longer,
then it matters not that Death doth call.
So come my Brother, and let us face it together.
No use these is in living if thou art gone,
yet know I that Death is best for thee,
for thou art gone as surely as if thou hath died,
and thou cannot fear that Death doth come.
Be still, let Death take thee away from sin,
and fear not, for I shall follow thee down.
So come Death, and rip us from the fabric of the earth.
As now my sword shall cut thee down,
and send thee on to the Underworld,
so also shall Death's gleaming blade
strike me through and set my weary soul free.
Our two souls have withered and perished,
so come dear Brother, let us face it together.
Oh, how sweetly Death doth come.
Author's Note: Okay, some people may be a little confused by this one. Others may have figured out quite easily just from the fact that I mention 'brother' on a couple occasions. This is one is from Sango's point of view, during the episode in which she finds Kohaku and then tries to kill him when it becomes apparent he is still under Naraku's thrall. So yeah, do you like it? Let me know.
