Oh, my bittersweet conscience If you are truly in there In this rattled, mess of a heart Do not say a word Just look to the dead, they know the way
Misery- that ******* screams Louder than the trifling grievance that provoked him Just as suspected, my dear conscience Do not listen to a sound Hold your ear to the dead, their voice is wisdom
I know you make these decisions Bewildered at their insignificance Don’t be misguided, my love Every thought feeds this masterpiece Remember the dead, and their evergreen contributions
There will be times when good hearts in great numbers Must crouch together beneath the wreckage Left in the wake of an evil deed Do not cling to such a disadvantage, embrace this education Remember to breathe for the dead for it is the wind of change
There is nothing to gain from ignorance Trust intuition, for she is the mother of the living And though she walks with a crutch Remember dear conscience, she walks towards humanity Away from the dead, they have been raised and grown
This cage that loyalty builds Without doors or windows- only a paper-thin façade, my friend Pass through easy with mercy It will fall by the way, do not fear it Now, it belongs to the dead, they know where it goes
When a traveler comes to you, thirsty Give them no mirage, my heart of the heart Drench their soul and send them toward love’s Oasis This is my only command, dearest YOU But do not tell the dead, they take no more orders.
