We are lined up to die one by one Billions, all slowly walking towards death Moments before our killers strike we are given one last reqeust Some men ask for one last beer Some ask for sex Some ask for something as simple as their favorite meal Our lifes flash before our eyes before we die My life has been flashing by slowly for years While I've waited in this line The only joy I feel in this is at the beginning Meaningless, ignorant, bliss When I'm an infant and I can hear my mother sing her lullaby to me Before I understood life or death When I'm an infant and I can't speak the worlds to insult anyone Before I was spoiled by things I didn't need When I'm an infant and I don't have the strength to hurt anyone Before I was corrupted by the world around me When I'm an infant and I can't stand up to walk away from anyone That was true happiness Meaningless, ignorant, bliss So as I walk closer to my killer my last request is only That I hear my mothers lullaby one last time So that I can feel that again And remember what it was like to not know about all the evil around me And smile in my pure,meaningless, ignorant, bliss To be truly happy Thats all I want All I need Before I die, with a smile on my face. |
