Facing the Thousand |
| In the distance |
| They are circling |
| I watch them go around and around |
| Never tiring |
| The one near death is hypnotized and closes it’s eyes |
| One last time |
| Patiently they wait for that perfect moment to descend |
| And pick to pieces a once healthy |
| Body of passion and life |
| It’s me or it’s you and I get to decide |
| Which one lives and which one dies |
| Where and when |
| How and why |
| Here and now |
| A vital organ plucked out |
| Because I need to survive |
| Self-sacrifice is suicide |
| Circling with occasional cries |
| Of delight |
| Of anticipation or remorse for nature’s ceaseless patterns |
| Binding every being to the same sick fate |
| What unfortunate creature must suffer |
| Watching a thousand deaths spiral slowly towards it |
| It’s me or it’s you and I get to decide |
| Which one lives and which one dies |
| Where and when? |
| How and why? |
| Here and now |
| A vital organ plucked out |
| Because I need to survive |
| Self-sacrifice is suicide |
| What unfortunate creature must suffer |
| Watching a thousand deaths spiral towards it |
| With the will but not the strength to move on |
| From this place |
| Just close your eyes |
| Just breathe your last sigh |
| Just let go of this life |
| Just close your eyes |
| Just breathe your last sigh |
| Just let go |
| It’s come now |
| Your time |
| How do you want us to die |
| With regrets rotting away all of my success |
| With longing eating away at my fulfillment |
| Must every self-interested act inflict |
| Devastation on another |
| Would you rather rot or be picked to pieces still alive |
| How do you want us to die |
