I, with respect, die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Don't lay down with tears and agony. There's nothing to death. It's like Mac said, it's just stepping over to another plane. Don't be this way. Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity. We must die with some dignity. We will have no choice. Now we have some choice. Do you think they're gonna allow this to be done--allow us to get by with this? You must be insane.
Look children, it's just something to put you to rest. Oh, God.
Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, please. Mother, please, please, please. Don't--don't do this. Don't do this. Lay down your life with your child. But don't do this.
Free at last. Keep--keep your emotions down. Keep your emotions down. Children, it will not hurt. If you'd be--if you'll be quiet. If you'll be quiet.

In castles made of stone and death
I was the only one that was left
I walk through bodies of those I knew
The clear rivers blood now runs through
The ghosts who call, dance and sing
Won't live in horror of our sin
In what we had in what we'll leave
Not a single soul left forced to grieve
Ice falls down
Melts to drown
Blood left on the ground
For all to see
Humanity
Grass muddy cold and damp
I left the metal by the hand
Shattered skull covered floor
MORBID violence and nothing more
Ringing tinnitus left me deaf
Alone but wind holds to my breath
Unfamiliar traces endless stare
All new bodies to feign despair
What do you have to leave
Turn your traces towards the beach
I wait inside where I belong
No one picks up when I call the phone

I stick with my routines
Wake up make myself clean
and work back to sleep
to wait for the dream
You woke me up and brought me tea
A colour just for me
And so I opened myself to you
Until trouble hit you what do I do?
Leave you to go and free to the field
Am I repulsive? Am I a landmark?
I get my hopes up for you to disembark
Someone to hold or something to mention
Will you grow cold or keep you imprisoned
Sit upright and worry all night
The colour of your heart has turned and dyed
Gave birth to a beautiful daughter
Only to have to beg you for you not to take her away
Look into her eyes just like mine
And her bright smile from you
Daddy daddy daddy please please don't go

LEAVE

Always living inside
The walls don't seem to say
A single word
So here's where I like to stay
My life unheard
I'd rather be inside
A quiet home
Then to face hostile
Passive people
On my own
Ask yourself what you really want
Are you really going to feel better
Always spending always needing
Try to look for something fulfilling,
I wish that the sun wouldn't come up
Until after I'm asleep
But the sun must rise again
And the night must end

NEVER

The earth's crushing asphalt
All at once
To look at your while
It was happening
They burned your body
I can't really
Tell if you are gone now
This is who I am
This is how it is now
To watch you in the shadow of your moonlight
and I never got to say I love you
I never got to say goodbye.

You were a flower to me
And all the memories that were devoured
We were so close to being everyday
Will the field always be this way?
