Death Is Always Hated

I have always been hated

I have always been feared

Wherever I go

I bring sorrow and tears

From their very beginning

They've searched for a way

To destroy me for good

Or keep me at bay

They tend to fear

What they don't understand

They desire to hold

Their fates in their hands

It pains me to know

I am misunderstood

For I mean no harm

My intentions are good

At the very moment

Of their greatest pain

I come and whisk

Their souls away

I protect them from hurt

That cannot be beared

I protect them from wounds

That cannot be repaired

And I wish I could

Protect them all

But I do not always

Hear their call

Still they fear and hate me

All the same

They've embedded their hatred

In my name

If you do not believe this

Just rearrange it

And you'll find that

Death is always hated
