| A Grotesque Lie |
Should I cry Or should I die Should I scream Or should I dream About what fate had dealt me Without any clemency Whatever fate had for me to ordain To grieve and to resist will end in vain I am haunted by regrets and nothing to inquire For it is late and my time has come to expire In my mind there are no desires Nor are there any left over prayers A veil shadows my rose It is time for the door to close Time will crush me This place is not for me Fate and Fortune are just an illusion They drove and derided me and led me to delusion I cannot recall what good Fate has done Can I escape fate and just run To a place where frail violets don't fall And snakes don't crawl The door of hope has shut And my tongue has been cut Without any use, I beg, I plead, I howl, I crawl Like a dead fly on a wall Now I lay myself in the pillow And I know I am in the underworld below O great artificer in the sky Isn't this world a grotesque lie?
