Facing the Thousand

	作曲 : Light This City, Nichol
	In the distance
	They are circling
	I watch them go around and around
	Never tiring
	The one near death is hypnotized and closes it's eyes
	One last time
	Patiently they wait for that perfect moment to descend
	And pick to pieces a once healthy
	Body of passion and life
	It's me or it's you and I get to decide
	Which one lives and which one dies
	Where and when
	How and why
	Here and now
	A vital organ plucked out
	Because I need to survive
	Self-sacrifice is suicide
	Circling with occasional cries
	Of delight
	Of anticipation or remorse for nature's ceaseless patterns
	Binding every being to the same sick fate
	What unfortunate creature must suffer
	Watching a thousand deaths spiral slowly towards it
	It's me or it's you and I get to decide
	Which one lives and which one dies
	Where and when?
	How and why?
	Here and now
	A vital organ plucked out
	Because I need to survive
	Self-sacrifice is suicide
	What unfortunate creature must suffer
	Watching a thousand deaths spiral towards it
	With the will but not the strength to move on
	From this place
	Just close your eyes
	Just breathe your last sigh
	Just let go of this life
	Just close your eyes
	Just breathe your last sigh
	Just let go
	It's come now
	Your time
	How do you want us to die
	With regrets rotting away all of my success
	With longing eating away at my fulfillment
	Must every self-interested act inflict
	Devastation on another
	Would you rather rot or be picked to pieces still alive
	How do you want us to die
