13. Mortem

We can see it

Even if it's not there

We cannot hide

Even from afar

We can see it

In splendid images

Our brain expands

Away, fearless

When the paint is dry

And pale under the sky

The words sound so cheap

And the chords are out of tune

Breathe in, won't you breathe in

The noxious

Beings like you crumble apart

Naked skeletons pile on the ground

Not strong enough, not able enough

When every muscle is

Weak, frail and trembling

Not certain enough, not able enough

Under the damp moon night

Not strong enough to fight, to know

Realize

What took us so long

In an epiphany of pain

Blue and still

Remember the words and shallow dreams

Big plans

Feel the love inside that once was gone now grow

After the bright sun is gone

Everyone is alone, to die

No cell, no particle

No steel or diamond

Will be forever

So what do you defy?

It's life you mustn't deny
