No life, No death

Oh death The fear of countless souls I adore your kiss I need you close When will we meet? When shall you come? It's too long a wait Please come tonight I don't know you I know life is a tsunami Perhaps you can rescue me Where shall we meet? Oh life The lover of the lifeless I've honored your presence I gave you my all Why you misled me, lover? Why toss me into lava? It's too long a wait Get out of my sight It's as if I know you I heard that death is a fortune You ruthlessly fried my liver No time for reversal Better the joy from dying Worse the misery from living Free my feet from tight shoes My toes from hammering heat I can hear the darkness sing Better the joy! Worse the misery! Oh life and death You're all my friends Like the sheep sharing a shepherd Fighting firmly on the loose land — Dear earth, why you betrayed me? Dear hell, how will you come? With a billion eyes, I've tasted The two colors yearning for balance The lovely world into balance I need no life I need no death I need a midpoint!
