In the lucky country

In the lucky country

They look blindly beyond

Death comes as a lady

In the land of the living

This year, next year, sometimes, never

Cult of meekness

My mother was Queen of the Universe

Now you see it, now you don't

A shadow of his former self

Filled his lungs

It is the price of life

Stuffed

Life is full of troubles

Bad dreams

And despair

Divide and conquer

Going home

In the city's shadow

What future?

In this land of promise

They pass

And as shadows go

But each person dies in their own way.

Do I hear someone crying?

This poor animal

Is there life before death?

Hit and run

We be of one blood, you and I

So, this is heaven
