| Lyrics: | there's a boy in crimson rags with a grimace and a spoon, and a little sullen
girl
face?up staring at the moon
and there's no one around to hear their lonesome cries
then
they pass away alone into the night
why do we pity the dead?
are you churned by
emotion from voices in your head?
(are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head)
look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
oh why do we
pity the dead?
pity the dead!
well, you've seen the disease, suffering and decay,
and you
whisper to yourself blissfully "it's okay"
and you still refuse the possibility
that the
dead are better off than we
tell me what you see, tell me what you know
is there
anyone who lives a painless life?
if there is show me so
the destitute and famished,
demonic and the
banished, dejected and the ostracized, the
brainwashed and the
paralyzed, the conquered
and objectified, the few who see the other side
tell me what
you see! It's a mortal wretched cacophony
in the end you may find there's no guiding
subtle light,
no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong or right
just eternal silence
and dormancy
and a final everlasting peace |
