A Beautiful Thing Named Death

I've heard of a beautiful thing named death,
the moment all pain ends, a last taken breath,
a plea for destruction, a lifeless deduction,
a reason for people to care.

I've pondered a concept no one understands,
the story to tell of a dead marching band,
their music still rings in the ears of a million souls.

A heart that's been shattered and never lost count
of the times it's felt special, and then was ripped out,
replaced by a memory faint as the afternoon stars.

The loss of a loved one is painful and endless,
the mark left on your heart will leave you defenseless,
you're constantly looking for comfort in places they walked.

I've heard of a beautiful thing named death,
I've cried about magical things like death,
A bittersweet ending to all our pretending is what I desire to live...

Until it begins.
