Oh, I stalk around the world -
Oh, I frolic around the world ~
And I seek ways to kill Life -
And I seek ways to vanquish Death ~
But Life is grabbing me, pulling me away... -
But the world isn't fair, therefore Life dies... ~
But when I pull through, Hell wrecks Life -
But as I vanquish Death, Heaven sings to my people ~
But I know that I can't cause Death without Life -
But I know I can't heal Life without Death ~
So therefore we live through Death ~-
But also have Deathly lives ~-
Life & Death must be bound together ~-
We must not be afraid of each other -
Because without each other, there would be nothing ~
So I have to have a Deathly Life -
And I must be Living Death ~
Together ~-

There is a ~ after what Life says, and a - after what Death says.
