Lyrics

[00:14.745] It feels so strange
[00:17.862] Shameless to think of death
[00:21.660] When none of those one knows has died
[00:24.759]
[00:35.140] Last night I dreamt I was dead
[00:39.105] I came running with my dog into the room of the dead
[00:43.126]
[00:55.291] There was nothing to be seen
[00:58.234] Only stones and a few bushes
[01:02.224] A landscape that travellers have often spoken of
[01:05.731]
[01:18.580] I would rather not die here
[01:21.446] But in my own home, where I was not dead
[01:27.281]
[01:42.167] All the death
[01:44.251] All the death
[01:45.566] In the course of a life
[01:51.586] Write about death
[01:53.845] Describe in the poem what you feel, concerning death
[02:02.603] In the face of death I'm like an animal
[02:05.644] And the animal can die, but write nothing
[02:09.416]
[02:28.335] The words die like flies
[02:31.487] Their corpses everywhere, swept away from the white paper
[02:37.228]
