I am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds

I am become death the destroy of worlds. Know this-that you will one day die! Know this too-that every second more that you live, is a second more that you steal from me.

I am the darkness that descends upon you, the insidious creeping that you cannot stop…

…The man on the table looks up, staring at the light…

I am the fountain that springs eternal from the human soul. I am the hope for a better tomorrow and yet more; I am the hope that there will be life after this one, that work in this life may lead to peace in the next. Know this-that your worship of me will result in you living forever. Know this too-that for every second that you work in this life shall lead to an eternity of reward in the next…

…But the light above him begins to falter- the room goes dark, and finally he can now see the light…

For whether I am unclothed in my dark nature or gilded in gold hope, the effect is the same. Whether you struggle against me or drink in the slow poison of worship, I shall have you either way…

He struggles on the table….his life is fading from him…

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing…

And the walls around Jericho came a-tumbling down!

A strong fortress our God is still. A suitable sword and shield…

This is how your world ends. Not with a bang….but with a whimper.

Amen
