When Death Comes Knocking

Birds of prey are flocking,
Animals are all stalking,
The predators come out,
When Death comes knocking.

Children stop their playing
And the dogs stop baying.
Creation stills completely
When death comes a-slaying.

Mockingbirds cease their mocking
And lovers cease their talking.
All the world is silenced
When Death comes walking.
