DEATH IS CERTAIN (LIFE IS NOT)
|
(Music: Durkin/Hoglan/Yahn/Meyer, Lyrics: Hoglan)
|
|
Respecting your wishes
|
My brother, you wish to die
|
In a bed surrounded by tubes
|
Immobility's cast its shadow
|
In your body numbness reigns
|
You've calculated your demise
|
Your future racked with pain
|
I'll take the life behind your eyes
|
|
There was a time when death was distant
|
And the fire of life burned bright
|
Now we realize life's no constant
|
No will to life, death's a right
|
Euthanasia, not murder
|
Act of mercy to escape
|
Society's form of torture
|
To let you live this way
|
|
(chorus)
|
Death is certain
|
Life is not
|
Your mind's in torment
|
Waiting to rot
|
The final curtain
|
Always draws it close
|
When death is certain
|
The end unfolds
|
|
From the neck down, you're senseless
|
From the neck up, you're alive
|
And the politics of humanity
|
Refuse to let you die
|
And all the while you plot your death
|
With me at your side
|
Your last wish, your brain to rest
|
Your bondage ropes untied
|
|
And the prayer for miracles is through
|
For there's no god to care
|
|
Do unto others as done to you
|
Without a doubt he isn't there
|
I won't make a mistake with faith
|
Christ's a waste of time
|
How can I put my trust in god
|
With innocent people dying?
|
|
(chorus)

HARMONY SOLO
|
|
Paralytic disease infests your brain
|
Debilitates your mind
|
A vegetable wasting, decaying
|
You're running out of time
|
All I know is what you said
|
Before the comas' grip
|
Don't want to live your life brain dead
|
To death you crave to slip
|
|
The needle's pulled from in your arm
|
The pulse of life has stopped
|
Your granted plea, a painless death
|
To arrive at the end you'd sought
|
The cryptic statement--bonded truth
|
Lie peaceful in your grave
|
Did we just give up on you?
|
I hope you have been saved.....
|
|
(chorus)
|
Death is certain
|
Life is not
|
Your mind lies dormant
|
Proceeding to rot
|
The final curtain
|
Has drawn its close
|
When death is certain
|
The end unfolds!!!............
