And the man died
And the man died
For Life

He who died
He once lived on a crowded countryside
Against the crescendo of a waxing tide
Of tug-of-wars,plus push and pulls
He who died
He who died

He stretched his verse for poor fisher folks
Who were haunted by sanctimonious bullocks
He wrestled with whistling winds and storms
And for the homeless heads he died

He who died
He once lived
He once lived
He who died
But he who died
He was strong
When he was weak

He lived
Because
He died
He lived
Because he died
For life

And the man he died
For he stretched his nerves and limbs and heartstrings
To catapult doves in the far far blues
And died the man
And because he died
He lived
And he became much alive
-Vivified

The man felt the fears of men
Licked the hallucinations of little children
Tasted the tears of wailing women
Took their thorns of Moses
With his hand full of tons of roses
Till an ultimate crush of a thrashing diminuendo

And the man died......
