Death Is Certain (life Is Not) Lyrics - Singles - Dark Angel

Respecting your wishes 

My brother, you wish to die 

In a bed surrounded by tubes 

Immobility's cast its shadow 

In your body numbness reigns 

You've calculated your demise 

Your future racked with pain 

I'll take the life behind your eyes 

There was a time when death was distant 

And the fire of life burned bright 

Now we realize life's no constant 

No will to life, death's a right 

Euthanasia, not murder 

Act of mercy to escape 

Society's form of torture 

To let you live this way 

Death is certain 

Life is not 

Your mind's in torment 

Waiting to rot 

The final curtain 

Always draws it close 

When death is certain 

The end unfolds 

From the neck down, you're senseless 

From the neck up, you're alive 

And the politics of humanity 

Refuse to let you die 

And all the while you plot your death 

With me at your side 

Your last wish, your brain to rest 

Your bondage ropes untied 

And the prayer for miracles is through 

For there's no god to care 

Do unto others as done to you 

Without a doubt he isn't there 

I won't make a mistake with faith 

Christ's a waste of time 

How can I put my trust in god 

With innocent people dying? 

Paralytic disease infests your brain 

Debilitates your mind 

A vegetable wasting, decaying 

You're running out of time 

All I know is what you said 

Before the comas' grip 

Don't want to live your life brain dead 

To death you crave to slip 

The needle's pulled from in your arm 

The pulse of life has stopped 

Your granted plea, a painless death 

To arrive at the end you'd sought 

The cryptic statement - bonded truth 

Lie peaceful in your grave 

Did we just give up on you? 

I hope you have been saved... 

Death is certain 

Life is not 

Your mind lies dormant 

Proceeding to rot 

The final curtain 

Has drawn its close 

When death is certain 

The end unfolds!
