Part 3 Moniker Lyrics
“Liar”
I’ve gone by that Moniker.
I’ve been “Plague”
I’ve been “Going Home”
& “Justice”
I’m old as time and I’m whatever I need to be
When I knock upon your door
Black tie
That’s what I look like in every role in the cinema or the novel
I can’t keep up with all of the ways you tame
What is comin’ all the same
And before long, I’m a wraith hammer
Some will be afraid
Some will invite me over long before I call them
But I still go
I’m still gonna go
Never the kind to be late
I will arrive when I say
Some kaleidoscope in space
“Hollis fall away, don’t be afraid”
A guaranty I am phantom and sting
But I’ve been declawed
“Old news”
I’ve been reduced to what you check under beds for
or closets

This is Death's finale, he is shown reminiscing on the way things used to be. He used to be held in such high regard. The fear of him and of the unknown caused people to mystify him with all the "monikers" and titles. He even has his stereotypical uniform in narratives according to the second verse. But this all changed with the resurrection of Christ. Death no longer holds the power he once had which leads to the conclusion that he has been "declawed, he's "old news", and has been reduced to a boogie man.
