In Line To Die

[Shadow Dragon]

In Line To Die



Run if you will
Think you can escape
This twisted dance
This wavering landscape

Breathe in, breathe out
Dream that you’re alive
Wrap yourself in it if you can
Its all a lie, its all a lie

We’re already dead
We just don’t know it yet
There is no way out this
No way to win the bet

Much as we try to fight it
No one gets out of this life alive
We are all just waiting our turn
As we stand in line to die

Grasp to fill your hands
Grasp to have it all
It makes no difference
You can’t take it when you fall

Hallucinate if you will
Believe that this is real
Believe that you are breathing
Believe that you can feel

Believe that you can laugh
Believe that you can cry
Even when you know deep down
Its all a fancy lie

Much as we try to fight it
No one gets out of this life alive
We are all just waiting our turn
As we stand in line to die

So cast aside the veil
And come stand here next to me
Stand here at the edge
Stand here and see

Its all a mass illusion
The minds greatest deception
No one gets out alive
No one, no exception
So come wash away
The confusion in your head
See the world for what it is
The cage of the walking dead

Much as we try to fight it
No one gets out of this life alive
We are all just waiting our turn
As we stand in line to die

We are called to the queue
With our very first cry
Our turn is called
With our very last sigh
Everything in between
Is just waiting in line to die.

Shadow Dragon,

I'd love to hear this read out loud.... rich in emotion .... doom and darkness through out the write...

The repetition of "in line to die" works extremely ... waiting in line to die...stand in line to die ...very dramatic and conveys a very specific image....

...enjoyed reading...
Thanks for posting and nice to see you here...

Thank you. Sorry I haven't been around as much. The gardens have been really producing and between canning and homeschooling the kids, I haven't had as much time.
