Follow me down to the meadow
Lead me over the sea
Take a dagger, cut life short
Create a cure, prolong the world
Life is fragile but somehow strong
Death is a wall that is invincible
Life is sweetly complicated
Death is en-ragingly simple
Life is hard
Death is easy
Time to choose
Life or death
Fast minute
Or slow seconds
Happy moments
Lifeless days
One choice is all you get
Choose well my child
Your time is running out
Choose quickly but be sure
Tick tock, Tick tock
Time is running out
Choose well.....
