Death, do you have any friends?
Death, do you have any friends?"Yes, I do."
Who are they?
"Pilgrim, my friends are
Earth, Heaven and Hell."
Why are they your friends?
"Pilgrim, Earth is my friend
Because
Earth satisfies my hunger.
Pilgrim, Heaven is my friend
Because
Heaven utilises my service.
Pilgrim, Hell is my friend
Because
Hell acts as my counsellor."
