1. I Am Breathless

Breathless, oh, I feel at a sudden so breathless, never felt so badly breathless, does somebody can help me? I feel so breathless!

Breathless, all I need is a bit fresher air, to refill my so painful lungs, feel so empty and breathless.

2. You Knew It All Along

Seeing people die reminds you of your own end, so don’t pretend it’s a surprise! You have to face it and accept it without being taken by surprise. But disappearing from this world leads you to wonder what you’re leaving behind. Was this world worth it?

3. They Spit On It

They mock it, as they would a young man torn from his life who carried joy. They spit on the life on earth that nourishes our joy in living.

4. The Cowards Pride

They have nothing, know nothing, create nothing. That’s why they hate, drool over violence, adore murder, worship weapons, threaten and spread blood and fire, ruin and tears. Their only talent is dark: to terrify into submission. The warriors have won over the world. But they won’t get a lullaby.

5. I Always Knew it

Our hearts are burning, our minds are bleeding, humankind is falling, dictators are winning.

Our arts are burning, our kind is bleeding, human lives are falling, cowards are insulting.

6. Share Deep Feelings

I won’t play pride. I won’t measure myself against the cowards to lose under their bastard blows. If these songs touch people deeply, they’re not made for cowards. Anyway, I don’t want to lose living here. Why do we have to come only to have to leave again?

7. Decay And Pain

Could my death resemble an act of sex, arms in each other, skin rubbed, thighs open, penetrated into you, and the liquids that make us come?

While reduced to a puppet of suffering, waiting to be manipulated into living, we would see only death as our future! Is death nothing but decay and pain?

8. The Loneliness Of a Dead Man

Quiet, listen, slowly, breath, deeply, quiet, listen a bit: I am isolated, I mean all alone. Locked in my head if it is still full or just haunted. Burrowed in my body if it is not yet coffin or underground!  What is turning around? And already nothing outside and soon nothing inside.

9. We the Healthy Ones

Are we, the healthy, touched by the dying only because we see in them our own and lonely and fallen future?

10. I Call For My Death

I am calling for my death as a rest. I beg for my end as the end of pain. I ask to breathe my last breath so much I suffer. I have forgotten the world so much has my decay disgusted me with life.

11. With Generosity

To the children who are born, those who revel in life, let them have the space to exist: welcome youngsters!

The beings of the earth are simply adapting to a changing universe, and we humans are responding to the same ritual. And the cowards will also perish, and so much the better for them.

12. You Who Remain

You who remain, you who breathe, you who smell the air, take care of yourself, and take care of our humanity, which I am going to leave in a total eclipse.

13. The Last Goodbye

It’s time for me to say goodbye because I’m dying, oh I’m leaving, yes, I’m leaving, it’s too late now!

You should smile, you should joke, you should forget, you should forget me.

I melt slowly into the elements of nature, becoming again the matter of our earth.

14. Lullaby For a Sweet Child

I offer you a lullaby that for a dead sweet child to fade out with peace and calm.
