[intro]
A quiet death?
[verse]
Death comes sometimes quiet
and sometimes full of noise,
sometimes it comes
for aging bones
and sometimes
for young girls and boys,
sometimes they’re
mangled corpses
sometimes beautiful
and seemingly unscathed,
nevertheless, the fact remains
no life can ever be saved,
‘no-one here gets out alive’
as Morrison rightly said,
your troubles are trivial
while you’re here
but even more so
when you’re dead.
