I’m the life of this song I’m singing
The reaper of all the death I’m bringing
The maddening noise of all this sorrow
The counterpoint silence of the joy we borrow
Soul of the dreaming thoughts
Tears of the dying coughs
Disease and hope and mayhem
The world is full of all, amen!
I’m the end of the music I’m thinking
I’m the beginning of the moment that’s blinking
The quiet peace of nothing at all
The counterpoint war that will fall
Breath of many blowing winds
Hum of the greatest dins
Death and life and cruelty
To all the world we pay fealty
