Chapter One: Death
In the deep shadows, where whispers dwell,
a silent death song, a solemn verse.
Loneliness, melancholy, constant friends,
in the echoes of the night, he borrowed.

A soft melancholic sigh,
paints the world in the wrong shade.
The dark dance of dusk and dawn,
this alone fascinates us, attracts us.

Every step we take, a solemn rhythm,
down the aisle of empty space. But in the silence we find grace,
how tears of sorrow leave a gentle trace.

Because the stars appear in the dark
a ray of hope, a true gift.
Even if death calls and the sighs are silent
the melancholy disappears when the soul flies.

A destructive and inevitable end is always near,
dark and mysterious, the end of all things.
My last breath was full of regret and sadness,
eternal rest awaits.

In the embrace of the shadows, we say goodbye,
the fleeting dance of life, where shadows dwell.
Beyond the veil, voices sigh,
In death's embrace, we say goodbye.
