Yeesh, the Grim Reaper got himself an upgrade... or Hell has been renovating. Either or.

Walking through the woods one evening
I found myself utterly lost and alone
darkness fell and the path was deceiving
I'd never find my way back to my home
After thrashing through brushes and brambles
I suddenly came across a rusty cast iron gate
on the other side I spied a graveyard in shambles
I needed to find shelter, it was well past late
Entering the sleepy place of rest I noticed the disrepair
virginia creeper vines and ivy covered most everything
the whole lot was dead silent as if lungs without air
I slipped into a state that could have been but a dream
I spied the crumbling tombstones both far and near
they were broke off at angles and made of all size
all of a sudden my gut told me I wasn't the only one here
I peered over my left shoulder then gazed over my right
It was then a brilliant flash of blue light caught my gaze
and directly beyond it stood a stone statue of an angel
one hand was stretched forward as if ushering the way
to one side of the figure where there stood an open grave
A fathomless fear ran over me and my body truly shook
I tried to pry my eyes away from the thing but I only stared
in one hand it held a blade, in the other an hourglass and a book
wings spread behind it's back black as night in all it's layers
I couldn't run away but somehow instead went straight to him
I fell onto my knees and began to recite out the lord's prayer
I begged forgiveness for all my wrongs and admitted all my sin
only then did he speak and his voice came from everywhere
"Behold, the book of eternal life and mortal death..."
He leaned forward and showed me the open pages
"Here is your name boy, you've no more time left!"
I collapsed into the grave, fully paying sin's wages

It's not mine, I borrowed the words
from another, but it sums up my
thoughts on the image contained
herein rather perfectly.

Are you sure? He doesn't look quite alive to me.

Well I can hardly say "it's animate! animate!"
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

If he does live, then others must die.

Of course. That's how life and death works.
