Let Me Die

Shall I die... let me die... Let me see what is not to see Let me die... if I die... Let me be what I cannot be Hear the angels’ sing Dance to demons’ lust Seek the mighty dream Fear the humans’ trust Shall I live... let me live... And to see what is only to see Let me live... if I live... Perhaps to be what I’ll be Hear the humans’ outcry Dance to splendors of war Seek the almighty to defy If we ourselves would fall Shall I die... let me live Let me see what I cannot be Let me live to believe Let me be what I cannot see
