Death Poem III: Barefoot's Self-Suppression Lyrics

Incinerate, dim degenerate

Never saw the higher road above

There was no collapse of the terraneous brine

The neck didn't turn in the wake of his pain

"My arrival,

My departure

Two simple passings

That got entangled.

Empty-handed

I entered.

Barefoot I will leave it."

Brought to old age before time

A deep grief spun his thread of days

A mind and heart home to grimy spiders' webs

Whose mindless arrogance and violence reached to the iron sky

Subject to men who would far rather eat themselves

Than to give anything to another

Greedy are the men who cast their daisies in bronze

Words, let flown each to each

Met midways and sliced

The void in aimless flight

Over the churned-up ground,

He would never be nothing as much as this

Endless times, time, time and again,

He worked to nullify their hatred in his heart

And thus he felt the heat of infinity

"My arrival

My departure

Two simple passings

That got entangled

Empty-handed

I entered.

Barefoot

I will leave it."

Words, let flown each to each

Met midways and sliced

The void in aimless flight

Over the churned-up ground

he would never be nothing as much as this

Endless times, time, time and again

He worked to nullify their hatred in his heart

And so he leapt the one leap of them all

"He who enters knows only his arrival

He who goes knows only his end.

To be saved from the chasm

Why cling to the cliff?

Clouds floating low

Never know where the breezes will blow them.

In blank space only to warp and soar

And come down with the roar of thunder to the sea."
