Death Note

There are a thousand ways to die
A string to my throat is just one way
I have died a million times already
Learning to choose my tune, dance
This would be, just another show.
Time takes everything but the truth
Like the whip that came with growing up
The hundred scars each strike registered
If this would mean the end for me
Then, let me fall like a hero in every bar
Watch Willy wonder, and
Let my soul dance to every strike
Even if I find my way to hell
Let my soul live owning our truth
Let this strike be the last I’ll take.
