STRANGE LULLABY
Oh! Sweet child
Close your eyes
I'll rock you to sleep
Forget all the weep.

Don't cry for your father
I know you want his arms
But his hands hold a gun
And it's so rough that a caress will feel a pain.

Oh! Sweet child
Just run wild
Free your mind
Forget the whimpers and cries.

He's made mothers cry
I answer them with my tears
He's alive or not alive
What shall I tell you when you cry.

Oh! Sweet child
I'll tell a lie
For memories never die
To peck you through your life

LIFE?

Crimson creeps into the horizon
Like the blood of Christ oozing
To quench the thirst of the mighty sea
Or to save the poor souls in the sea?

Life takes a break
To be one with the nature
To enjoy one's own company
To liberate your soul

In the darkness that creeps into the heart
In the stillness broken only by silent sighs
I stay awake
Wondering why am I alive

You need a reason to Live
To exist means worse than death
And here am I ever waiting for that reason
Cursing, for just being born

I am falling deep into the gorge of time
Hoping that there is a hand at the end
Ah! A hope that opens doors to a new world
For, once you are born you have to die
