Death Is...

The say that you see
life flash before your eyes
when a hearts’ decease
tells you another dies
 
So you tell yourself
why did they die this way
was it fast, was it slow
what would they wish to say?
 
Before time ran out
were they happy how they lived
did their words leave their mouth
had they learned to forgive?
 
If I would be dying
If I found out, just today
soon to be flying
Id go out and play
 
I dont know how death is
nor do I wish to learn
for some it may be pleasant
and others, eternal burn
 
To feel grief eternally
or be back with friends
I know how this end lives
but not how lives the dead
 
Some ask me what death is
and I cant say I know
I just say time passes
until it’s their time to go

(2005)
