Death Row
We are prisoners
of the world.
Born today and die
tomorrow.
A journey from one to
ten and the cycle starts again.
Everyone knows he/she has to
go to the world without hat.
Humanity is on death row; the
grin reaper is the conqueror, transformer,
and transmitter.
No one knows when his/her time's up. So
enjoy, be happy, and drown yourself in love
cause everybody is on death row.
