Death's Design from Life's EndDesign by Herfst

Death’s Design

From the womb – a first scream
From the cradle – a long time, a lifetime

Brief moments of joy, mostly bereft
Ever focused on my sole goal
My one mission, my only plan

For I am my life’s architect
Ever searching for a place
A most special design:
An aesthetic dream
A cathedral of gold
Unimaginably high
In a forest, vast and old

Drawn I am
This mystical place exists!
I knew it right from the start...
My very own past (lies in)
The first pulse of my heart

Drawn I am
This mystical place exists
And awaits my arrival
Amidst the moon and stars and mist

Now my search is over (I have arrived)
The completion of my master plan
A deception at least

I hear it clearly now...
Voices seducing me in the dark...
“O, come here and die!”
The dire melody of my life
“O, come here and die!”
