gently death
the pain is far too great

be wise my love
hurt can scar the heart
wars are a way of life
death and a sense of honor
rip us to the core

madness only
here

a little child on the beach
the poisoned gulf coast shore

death is sweet
life is slavery
in a while we shall entwine
frightened bodies
again

pools of sweat
pools of blood

loneliness
the babe is born

i am here

the choice is yours

take a chance
or simply die

---

gently death
the pain is far too great

freedom
take a chance

for the child's sake
