It leaves gloomy faces,
And wailing men and women.
Hearts are broken,
Tears are shed,
As sorrowful souls bid farewell,
To their loved one,who now lays dead.
For such is the cruelty of death.

The pain of separation,
And the unbearable grief,
Is never brief.
Some bury it deep down in their heart.
While some try to forget.
But with reality they can never part.
For such is the cruelty of death.

What happens after death,
Is a question that haunts us all.
Is it to hell that we fall
Or is it to heaven that we rise?
Its on our deeds big or small,
That God's judgement lies.
For such is the inevitable truth about death.
