Death is silent, painless I didn't know what happened I was suddenly standing above my body While you looked on too much in shock for tears I tried to speak but couldn't I tried to talk to you But you wouldn't listen Death is silent It hides high in the night's confinement Vile and violent Minding a time to try us And remind us That we cry when time is denied us To incite this Fear of death inside us Death is spineless It will find men that you confide in And confine them to asylum Make those that you dine with and reside with The same lives that you will pine for in silence Death is mindless Nevermind the genotype or phylum It's designed to find and defile us From afar, Senegal to Riker's Island Death's not confined to latitude lines or mileage Death is timeless Theres no sense to fight with The violent nihilist Binding the eyes of the lifeless But such that life is aligned with Death's assignment Don't let it define you, you define it Everything that we know Is forever dead All the things in the world We love have gone away (Twice upon a time there was a boy who died) (And lived happily ever after) (But that's another chapter) (Twice upon a time there was a boy who died) (And lived happily ever after) (But that's another chapter) (Twice upon a time there was a boy who died) (And lived happily ever after) (But that's another chapter) (Twice upon a time there was a boy who died) (And lived happily ever after) (But that's another chapter)
