If I Were A Carp |
| Heave ho, farewell to the quay! |
| Merry sailors, sailors |
| We! |
| The horizon is our proscenium! |
| Our dead will come to know |
| The sea |
| Our cook is a wanted man, 1000 thalers for each hand |
| Our captain lost his good sense, driven by a Lazarus' |
| Words |
| Have you not been told of Lazarus? |
| He felt the icy grip |
| Brought back by a morphine drip, he told the captain |
| This: |
| Tragedy, tragedy! |
| Death has you fooled! |
| No throne of bone, no terranean pool! |
| No scythe, no cowl, no skeleton |
| His greatest trophy is this myth |
| Every sailor, salmon, every carp will follow rivers to |
| The source |
| Only the dead will know the course, and furthermore… |
| Do you really want to know of the afterworld? |
