I hear them asking
Will I play the caretaker
To your little grave?
There's no longer reasons why
You'd be denied the things that you've requested bravely
And be treated with the arrow
Due a conquered long-timer
In the midst
Sight is a very precious sense
For those who've endured the blind life
A different form of life
Has a different form of death, not withstanding

They say he had no heart
Just a big hole in his chest

They got it wrong in part
Trust me, we knew the blighted test
The test of tests, the test of tests
It was fate
The ilk have died like flies
And that fever moves with the swiftness
Out of date
When the face does leave the face
It's death's clutching fingers upon

History tells us it's always the same
When fire rages on that little grave
No longer reasons to be denied

She needs a doctor
