Always at War

I live while I dy
I dy while alive

To my shame I recognise too late
I fought another battle, blessed gates

Blood drained from my mortal frame
Will those who remember me in a shrine

This technology does separate flesh from soul
Do we have the right when sacrifice was made for us to exist?

Hell is pure despair, pain in sheer excruciating consciousness
Now I know the value of what I lose, how honest can I be?

I should give my life, not have it taken
I now know that this is all wrong, where is the alternative?

Those behind me knew who sent me, come and join me
The tunnel appears, how should I embrace it

Bravely in tears for there were glad times, I will now leave behind
Who will meet me, where do I go?

Do I inhale, should I gasp?
How do I let go, never received instruction in passing over

My gun remains at ease below; I am swimming in my mind
Someone be kind, must I face this alone

Alive while I dy
I dy while alive
