Light This City - Facing The Thousand Lyrics
In the distance, they are circlingI watch them go around and around, never tiringThe one near death is hypnotized and closes it's eyesOne last timePatiently they wait for that perfect moment to descendAnd pick to pieces a once healthyBody of passion and lifeIt's me or it's you and I get to decideWhich one lives and which one diesWhere and when?How and why?HERE and NOWA vital organ plucked outBecause I need to surviveSelf-sacrifice is suicideCircling with occasional criesOf delight?Of anticipation or remorse for nature's ceaseless patterns?Binding every being to the same sick fateWhat unfortunate creature must sufferWatching a thousand deaths spiral slowly towards itIt's me or it's you and I get to decideWhich one lives and which one diesWhere and when?How and why?HERE and NOWA vital organ plucked outBecause I need to surviveSelf-sacrifice is suicideWhat unfortunate creature must sufferWatching a thousand deaths spiral towards itWith the will but not the strength to move onFrom this placeJust close your eyes, just breathe your last sighJust let go of this lifeJust close your eyes, just breathe your last sighJust let go, it's come now, your timeHow do you want us to die?With regrets rotting away all of my success?With longing eating away at my fulfillment?Must every self-interested act inflictDevastation on another?Would you rather rot or be picked to pieces (still) alive?How do you want us to die?
