Do Not Give Up
Do not give unto death
For death is not sweet
It is the eternal eclipse of the eyes
The last great pessimism
Of a weary soul
Do not give unto hate
For hate is not righteous
It is the slow decay of the mind
The last curse of the devil
On a weary soul
Do not give unto greed
For greed is not kind
It is what makes machine out of man
The last corruption of the heart
And a weary soul
Do not give unto despair
For despair is not hope
It is the light of a generation dying
The last step to a dark age
For a weary soul
