L.I.G.O. - Thief

People are passing by – distracted and focused,
Lost and preoccupied with their thoughts
Each living his own life – as if for a purpose
While there’s no choice but pull the shortest straw

Girl with sunburn skin, her high heels a-clicking
Hurrying up somewhere with busy look
Old fiddler in the street, hands trembling, a-playing
False Morricone tune over again
People are passing by – each one with a purpose
Candles once shining bright – that soon will fade

Everyone is born as if with only purpose that is to die
Programmed deep inside to fall to pieces in a very short while
Rise or fall, rejoice or mourn - death will always be by your side
Ticking time away as you get closer to the end of your life

Open your eyes
Challenge your mind
Sooner or later
Time comes for everyone to die
No matter if it’s day or night
Death will be like a thief at night
Taking your life

Moment to die
End of your time
No escape from this

Try to survive
Fight for your life
It will be the same
Don’t forget to live while you’re alive
Do it now, for that’s your only life
At the end there’ll be no warning sign
And no good-byes

Everyone is born as if with only purpose that is to die
Programmed deep inside to fall to pieces in a very short while
Rise or fall, rejoice or mourn - death will always be by your side
Ticking time away as you get closer to the end of your life

Each cell divides
Just fifty times
Take it or leave it!
Eucaryotic suicide
Cells making their choice to die
Is there a single reason why?
Why does ferment

Reading the genes
Sit in between
Two genes every time?

Linear chain
Of DNA
That’s the price to pay
New evolutionary stage
Old replication heritage
Left from procaryotic age
Is not that strange?

Divi surya-sahastasya bhaved
yugpad utthi ta
yadi bhah sadrsi sa syad
bhavas tasya mahatmanah

Sri bhagavan uvaca kalo smi loka-ksaya-krt pravrddho
lokan samahartum iha pravrttah rte pi tvam
na bhavisyanti sarve
ye vasthitah pratyanikesu yodhah

Everyone is born as if with only purpose that is to die
Programmed deep inside to fall to pieces in a very short while
Rise or fall, rejoice or mourn - death will always be by your side
Ticking time away as you get closer to the end of your life

Open your eyes
You will be mine
Sooner or later
Time comes for everyone to die
I am the one you fear at night
I am the creeping thief at night
Taking your life.
