Life for Life

everyday we tatse life and death
inhale,exhale
what could be your last breath

what's on the menu
dont see it kickin any more
death is life
with in you
that's for sure

doesnt matter how we got this way
it is what it is anyway

all life
is consumed by life

we consume life everday
still are what we are anyway

it's the nature of the beast
and
the world is it's feast

wont live on a fast
has to consume life
to last



I have something to tell you
I have something to show

all we are
and
all we know
even God
is consuming and consumption
of life for life

give a life
to get a life
such a deeply strange thing
but
that is the way
it has alway's been

the plant or the animal
gives it's life
for our lives
but
we seem to have become
so mechanical and complacent
we have forgotten
life was given for life
