letra de love of hate - st. john green

Loading...

[verse one]
the love of hate and death’s refrain
the cry to k!ll the want for pain
the cross between the blood and rain
the l-st that drives all men insane
while searching for their precious fame
and pressing glory to their names
life has turned into a game
and like a toy it’s all the same
so let those fools all die of shame
and let him be the one to blame
and one his headstone write these words:

“this man has just died for the birds”

[verse two]
then take the few who mourn his soul
prepare them for another hole
for as one goes, so shall we all
while waiting for death’s lonesome call

[verse three]
they beg and steal to get their share
some idle wit says that’s not fair
while those who really know don’t care
and bearded men just cuss and swear
faced with death there’s few who dare
to ask for apple, plum, or pear
and on their headstones it will read:
“this one has sown his final seed”

[verse four]
then take the few who find the need
to fulfill a fool’s last deed
they can only soak up all his greed
become themselves a godless feed
that nourishes a rootless weed

[verse five]
they take themselves from life
it’s said they’re dedicated to the dead
they can’t see the things we know
the summer sun
the blinding snow
when a pretty girl might catch his eye
the dead won’t let him find out why
so he should be the next to die
and on his headstone they will write:

“he lived and died without life’s light”

[verse six]
and when all the rest have passed
who’ll live to be the last
the last to sit upon the throne
and claim the world to be his own!
he’ll conquer us all
he shall die alone
without the privilege
of a stone
amen…
