Death is Certain (Life is Not)

Death Is Certain (Life Is Not)
 Respecting your wishes
 My brother, you wish to die
 In a bed surrounded by tubes
 Immobility's cast its shadow
 In your body numbness reigns
 You've calculated your demise
 Your future racked with pain
 I'll take the life behind your eyes
 There was a time when death was distant
 And the fire of life burned bright
 Now we realize life's no constant
 No will to life, death's a right
 Euthanasia, not murder
 Act of mercy to escape
 Society's form of torture
 To let you live this way
 Death is certain
 Life is not
 Your mind's in torment
 Waiting to rot
 The final curtain
 Always draws it close
 When death is certain
 The end unfolds
 From the neck down, you're senseless
 From the neck up, you're alive
 And the politics of humanity
 Refuse to let you die
 And all the while you plot your death
 With me at your side
 Your last wish, your brain to rest
 Your bondage ropes untied
 And the prayer for miracles is through
 For there's no god to care
 Do unto others as done to you
 Without a doubt he isn't there
 I won't make a mistake with faith
 Christ's a waste of time
 How can I put my trust in god
 With innocent people dying?
 Paralytic disease infests your brain
 Debilitates your mind
 A vegetable wasting, decaying
 You're running out of time
 All I know is what you said
 Before the comas' grip
 Don't want to live your life brain dead
 To death you crave to slip
 The needle's pulled from in your arm
 The pulse of life has stopped
 Your granted plea, a painless death
 To arrive at the end you'd sought
 The cryptic statement - bonded truth
 Lie peaceful in your grave
 Did we just give up on you?
 I hope you have been saved...
 Death is certain
 Life is not
 Your mind lies dormant
 Proceeding to rot
 The final curtain
 Has drawn its close
 When death is certain
 The end unfolds
