Notes About The Poem

   

- Live and Die -

Dark falls between walls, following powerful lightning
This day is nameless, in the vast bottomless universe
Black rain, I believed in progress but the real truth became my lessons
Death is mute, time and eternity ... a poor soul
A taste of heaven perfume - for you I will live and die


Suffering and pain, go hand in hand
I used to have beautiful dreams, let me tell you why
A glimpse of sunlight, love, passion and hope
One hunger that the world remembers little of today
The candle burn no longer, watch out for the beast
