We Need the Death

Death gives meaning to life
End the suffering
In agonizing existence

Living forever would be
Buried in a coffin
Of rotting flesh

Even with fear
Even with the pain
Until the last breath
We need the death

With the final condemnation
What is left is to take
Some pleasure from pain

The biggest fear for some people
Is losing the ability
To kill themselves

Even with fear
Even with the pain
Until the last breath
We need the death

What's the point of all this
The only certainty is
That it will end

Born with a marked end
As a terminal illness
Dying every day

Even with fear
Even with the pain
Until the last breath
We need the death
