Swan Song

I want to entertain the virus
and make it's stay seem wrong.
When acts of death for everyone
are playing for too long.

And all the times we take for them
are lost in hopes gone long.
When fears that we must make of them
are notes we'll grow to song.

And everything we take from them
for saying we're too strong-
when note for note we'll sing to them
in choke your words swan song.
