"Distinction" can ban the wicked mind from playing at death's door.

If you can see that darkness coming from far away;
note how beautifully disguised it will be,
and follow through with logical reasoning,
you will see it toying with you and your soul.

You can't ever turn your eyes away when the robe comes for you
to tangle you in unpleasant peace.

If you are well aware of the shadows that surround the end of your time,
then you will be able to tame Death's sickle.
