Death, I welcome your cold embrace, release from this fever called life.

Hello,

In the sentence below, is it required to put an article, "the" or "a"? How would the meaning change if we put an article?

Original:
1-) "Death, I welcome your cold embrace, release from this fever called life."

With the article "a":

2-) Death, I welcome your cold embrace, "A" release from this fever called life.

With the article "the":

3-) Death, I welcome your cold embrace, "THE" release from this fever called life.

What is the difference between these 3 sentence? Which one does sound natural and grammatically correct to you, as a native speaker of English language?

Many thanks.
