On Reincarnation

Armageddon comes again
We all play at 'Let's Pretend'.
Turn your head; look away.
We don't believe:
Why should we die?

Living in a shell of skin,
Body we're replaced in.
Come back in shame,
Live the same.
We all die.

With the fractured earth below us,
Punctured sky above us,
Softly crying,
We've stopped trying.
Final death.

Cycles come and cycles go,
You live too long, you see too much.
Borrowed body,
Borrowed soul.
Peaceful rest.

Wake up again, one more time,
Why couldn't I just stay behind?
I miss the silence,
Not the breath,
I miss my quiet death.

Live with anger, live with hate,
I'm trying to defy fate.
This time I swear,
I'm staying there:
I need unbroken rest.
