The Death of Life

Ed:

He died befor her eyes

One brief moment of pain and

confusion, then silence

and he was gone

She cried a lonesome tear

As his body grew cold in her

arms she looked up at the fading

sun... he's gone

Rogga:

My eyes they look

but nothing do they see

You will be lost and

helpless without me

I'm bound an powerles

to intervene

This death is oblivious

to all my please

The'll take the house

and all that you own

Sell your possessions

and put you in a home

I'm left to agonize

under this marble stone

Steeped in compunction

for leaving you all alone

Ed:

These walls, the house he'd built

Now run down and derelict

nothing unchanged by the death

of life

Last fall as the leaves turned

brown

Her old heart couldn't cope

with the loss of all hope

and she passed away
