Respecting your wishes    My brother, you wish to die    In a bed surrounded by tubes    Immobility's cast its shadow    In your body numbness reigns    You've calculated your demise    Your future racked with pain    I'll take the life behind your eyes       There was a time when death was distant    And the fire of life burned bright    Now we realize life's no constant    No will to life, death's a right    Euthanasia, not murder    Act of mercy to escape    Society's form of torture    To let you live this way       Death is certain    Life is not    Your mind's in torment    Waiting to rot    The final curtain    Always draws it close    When death is certain    The end unfolds       From the neck down, you're senseless    From the neck up, you're alive    And the politics of humanity    Refuse to let you die    And all the while you plot your death    With me at your side    Your last wish, your brain to rest    Your bondage ropes untied       And the prayer for miracles is through    For there's no god to care       Do unto others as done to you    Without a doubt he isn't there    I won't make a mistake with faith    Christ's a waste of time    How can I put my trust in god    With innocent people dying?       Paralytic disease infests your brain    Debilitates your mind    A vegetable wasting, decaying    You're running out of time    All I know is what you said    Before the comas' grip    Don't want to live your life brain dead    To death you crave to slip       The needle's pulled from in your arm    The pulse of life has stopped    Your granted plea, a painless death    To arrive at the end you'd sought    The cryptic statement - bonded truth    Lie peaceful in your grave    Did we just give up on you?    I hope you have been saved...       Death is certain    Life is not    Your mind lies dormant    Proceeding to rot    The final curtain    Has drawn its close    When death is certain    The end unfolds!
