The Pain

oh! little knife thou art so sharp,
thou can breech the wind,
thou can make a hole
thou can cut in half with a gaze,
isn't it enough to be amazed
I herald thee!
be my undertaker
sweet little knife,i pray thee
fulfil thy destiny
fall on me,kiss me
and take away my pain

foolish child beware of what you pray for,
my sharpness make my errands brute,
but I come handy in several ways,
believe me,it's not my destiny to take away your pain.

oh!dear rope thou are so long
relics of dead criss-cross within thee,to make you so strong
I beseech thee!
come stealth like a snake
oh creeper so mighty,twine around my neck
crawl round n round till you're satisfied
and be my necklace of death

crazy child beware of what you ask for
this sly flattery disgrace me
I am no snake,i am no vine
I can't crawl or climb
ungrateful as you are for what you have
go away and never come again

oh! sweet pill so white like a pearl
please don't tell me you're not what you ought to be
they tag you 'poison',so i  can rely on thee
it's certain you'll stop my heart
slip down my throat,work your magic
next time i open my eyes
make sure it's heaven

I thought 'little knife' and 'dear rope' were mocking you
but your sad prayers proved me wrong
you're for sure a foolish stubborn
whatever i may be labeled 
'to kill thee' is not it read
you wish for a land called heaven
but couldn't live in one
awake child! awake!
be not in some dreamy place
remember, life is not some game
that you lose it once and can get a chance again

hard time come and it come for sure
but have the courage to let it go
be no foolish and lose a gift so blessed
ask 'little knife' , 'dear rope' and me
what it is like to be
not to breath, not to feel
cherish what you have
and have faith
the master 'll show you the path

throw the knife
place back the rope
and kindly keep me down
relax and think again
it is your courage that can cure your pain
strangulate your sufferings
and poison your sorrows
we promise, we can't take away your pain
