I am become Death.
In shadows draped, I emerge to wield my might.
With the cloak of darkness, I conquer endless nights.
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
Unleashing chaos, as my banner unfurls.


In cosmic dance, I paint the stars' demise.
Eternal void, where all existence lies.
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
My touch like wildfire, destruction unfurls.


Yet in this role, a burden I must bare.
The weight of souls, a somber cross to wear.
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
To mend what's broken, my heart it yearns.


Amidst destruction, hope still must reside.
A phoenix rising, from the ashes wide.
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
Through chaos, rebirth, new life unfurls


As cycle turns, in time's eternal flight
I contemplate, the paradox of light.
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds
In cosmic symphony, my purpose swirls


So, let the wisdom, my cosmic role unfurled.
For with great power comes the weight of worlds
Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of worlds
In balance, harmony, my soul is swirled
