[death]
vittorio lamberti!

[vittorio]
who is it? who’s there? show yourself!

[death]
vittorio lamberti!

[vittorio]
good god. so you’ve come for me, have you?

[death]
no, don’t run away from me
i’ve come to ask a simple favour
hear me out, i beg you to comply
though i’m exactly who you think i’d be
i’m here from curiosity
believe me, i don’t want to hurt a fly
all i wish to know is, what is life?
i swear i could not speak a lie

push a child on a swing
or touch a newborn with your finger
how i have been tantalised to try
what could that be? i’ve not a clue
to be inside the world of you
i can’t imagine what it’s like to breathe a sigh
nor can you imagine
all the things that make me ask the question “why?”

why do all men fear me?
cling to life so dearly?
what is it they fear they’d lose?
why have i become the dreaded spectre all men see?

i must know their reasons
live their change of seasons
see my presence from their view
that is why i now intend
to spend a little holiday with you

i’ll be here two days
then i will be gone
midnight sunday night
that’s my only goal
i’ll not harm a soul

no, i have not come to take you
i think you have many years left
treat me as a house-guest in july

if i could learn what words like “hope” and “love”
and “kindness” truly are made of
if i could learn what it may be to cry
that would be a lesson worthy
of this one-time-only journey

in return i can -ssure you
while i’m here no one on earth
will die
