Rest now-
Help is here to lift the load,
No need to stubbornly hold,
It's okay, to let go.

Ease now-
To live is to suffer,
Now there's no need to endure,
This pain, will never, recur.

Sleep in the field of poppies,
Rest until the end of time.
The worst part is now finished,
Everything else will be fine.

The torch is reversed,
And the shade hears the lullaby.
Escort endless streams of souls,
As the ocean of butterflies.


Yes I'm the Great Thanatos.
When life becomes chronic,
I give a chthonic,
Tonic dose!
And the last haircut you'll ever need.
I deal in death,
But a bad hand most are agreed.

Bring on the poor and the rich,
I'll drink from their ditch,
You need no coin with me.
Line up the infants and old,
I'll drag them to the cold,
Down where it's too dark to see.

Call on the women and men,
I don't care 'bout first sin,
From this clumsy flesh you'll soon be free.
I'll meet the evil and good,
They've done what they could,
But it all makes no difference to me.
For I am the Great Thanatos!

But for my labor and humor,
Gods and mortals would sooner,
Pluck their eyes than meet with me.
For following Atropos orders,
And doing the job I was born for,
I lack solace and company.
So yes, I'm the great Thanatos,
My days are spent on the ghosts,
And I'm exhausted by the hate and misery.


Fine!
I don't need love!
Fear and hate me,
And save your prayers.
I ignore all pleas.
Your death comes, inevitably!
The gods that just hate me,
Their immortality's untrue,
So I'm gonna to kill one,
'Cause it's time they knew,
That they, should fear me, too!


But that's not true,
I don't hate what I do...
It's a mercy to the living,
For who living lacks suffering?
So drink the Stygian panacea,
'Cause it's the mortals' ambrosia.
A new existence in the depths,
Besides life has no meaning without death!

So pour on your hate,
All that and more I can take.
This crucial labor divine,
Is gladly done for all time!
But I'll still kill a god,
Just to break the immortal facade.
Then take these butterflies...
Under my wing-
'Cause together we sing-
Off to Erebus we go-
For I am the Great Thanatos!
