Need to die
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
The wind got tired just by blowing
Listening while the people cry
He thinks : Why should I keep going?
I now feel I need to die
And he died, birds came to sing
But they somehow stopped to fly
They think: We lost our wings
Now we feel we need to die
And birds died, the trees still stand
But they all started to sigh:
Without birds it's like in sand
Now we feel we need to die
And trees died, animals shiver
Every one is asking "why?"
We loved trees, the way they quivered
Now we feel we need to die
And they died, people were left
Firstly they all tried to lie
They thought: How it got so bad?
Now we feel we need to die
And they died, God was schocked
Once again failed one more try
In sorrow he became all soaked
"Now I feel I need to die"
And God died, and there was crash
Light in darkness jumped to dive
Heaven sparkles, waters splashed
Life is born to someday die
