I want to live in peace, not be tied to the devils lease. I want to die in my sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep. Living and dying, more or less effort trying.
The harder we try, the more the devil defy. Peace is so hard to come by, lucky to have any before we die. Dying is so easy, in a mean world sleazy.
Death is the only peace true , life has many shades of blue. Between life and death, we're lucky to keep good health. In between going and coming, life remains truly numbing.
