Suicide

"I'd live... But you exist."

Steel Atreus

One day we'll dance a little dance

In threes, in fours, the music plays

Our feet will roll, our arms will swing

We’ll dance until the end of day.

Of course, not then does our dance stop

This is a dance of days, of weeks

And not while still the jury’s out

Can we lay rest our eager feet.

I had a dream of you and I

And dance did we a song or two

And in those songs, the verdict’s found

On which of us is leading who.

Some day we’ll dance our little dance

And who should lead, jury will say

Some day we'll dance unto the end

But not today, but not today...

If There are Wolves Among the Stars

If there are wolves, there will be sheep

And a shepherd for the flock.

Where there are wolves, the shepherd

Must watch out round the clock.

For the wolves, dear shepherd

Are hunting for your sheep.

So watch out, dear shepherd

Or your sheep the wolves will eat.

Among the stars, everything

Seems delicate and bright.

By the stars, anyone

Could be blinded by the light.

So watch out, dear shepherd

That you don’t get too close.

So watch out, dear shepherd

Or you the stars will roast.

If there are wolves among the stars

Dear shepherd, watch out.

For wolves will hunt and fight, and they'll

Protect what you seek out.

If there are wolves among the stars

Dear shepherd, keep out an eye.

For what seems delicate at a distance

May hunt your sheep tonight.
