Dying But Not Dead

From death you came to be alive and here you turn to death No sight to please your earthly eyes or give your mundane breath Don’t keep your heart so closed, so tight -- get ready to accept The healing snakes that are hereby, to touch, to crawl, to peck To peck your knees, to peck your thighs, your chest, your lips, your neck You have to change, you ought to change Accept it and relax Relax and die and close your eyes To run from all this dread
