Description
Instagram | Facebook | Shop(Music: Soap & Skin - Thanatos)
In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the personification of non-violent death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person.
His touch was gentle, likened to that of his twin brother Hypnos (Sleep). Thanatos was regarded as merciless and indiscriminate, hated by - and hateful towards — mortals and gods alike. But in myths which feature him, Thanatos could occasionally be outwitted, a feat that the sly King Sisyphus of Korinth twice accomplished.

Came the last night of sadness,
And it was clear she couldn't go on
And the door blew open and the wind appeared,
The candles blew and then disappeared,
The curtains flew and then he appeared,
Saying "Don't be afraid,"
Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
And they started to fly
She looked back and she said goodbye,
She had become like they are,
She had taken his hand,
She had become like they are
Come on, baby
Don't fear the reaper.

I'd rather see Sisyphus myself. You know, a character who actually originates from Greek mythology.
