Respecting your wishes

 My brother, you wish to die

 In a bed surrounded by tubes

 Immobility's cast its shadow

 In your body numbness reigns

 You've calculated your demise

 Your future racked with pain

 I'll take the life behind your eyes

 

 There was a time when death was distant

 And the fire of life burned bright

 Now we realize life's no constant

 No will to life, death's a right

 Euthanasia, not murder

 Act of mercy to escape

 Society's form of torture

 To let you live this way

 

 Death is certain

 Life is not

 Your mind's in torment

 Waiting to rot

 The final curtain

 Always draws it close

 When death is certain

 The end unfolds

 

 From the neck down, you're senseless

 From the neck up, you're alive

 And the politics of humanity

 Refuse to let you die

 And all the while you plot your death

 With me at your side

 Your last wish, your brain to rest

 Your bondage ropes untied

 

 And the prayer for miracles is through

 For there's no god to care

 

 Do unto others as done to you

 Without a doubt he isn't there

 I won't make a mistake with faith

 Christ's a waste of time

 How can I put my trust in god

 With innocent people dying?

 

 Paralytic disease infests your brain

 Debilitates your mind

 A vegetable wasting, decaying

 You're running out of time

 All I know is what you said

 Before the comas' grip

 Don't want to live your life brain dead

 To death you crave to slip

 

 The needle's pulled from in your arm

 The pulse of life has stopped

 Your granted plea, a painless death

 To arrive at the end you'd sought

 The cryptic statement - bonded truth

 Lie peaceful in your grave

 Did we just give up on you?

 I hope you have been saved...

 

 Death is certain

 Life is not

 Your mind lies dormant

 Proceeding to rot

 The final curtain

 Has drawn its close

 When death is certain

 The end unfolds!
