La Muerte es solo el Comienzo

(Death is only the Beginning)

Higher the note goes
like the waves of the river
Makes my heart skip beats
Though I perspire, my whole body shiver
My eyes sting with sorrow
knowing there’s no tomorrow
and though you’ve grown your wings
La muerte es solo el comienzo

Higher the note goes
In compositions so subdued
largo as honey
heavy with mood
My breath caught in your throat
You cease and let me go
and though you’re not here
La muerte es solo el comienzo

A society like ours
we kill artists here
tainting their message, their politics
the idea we hold so dear
perhaps it’s best you lived til 31
to make music with the heavens
to answer to no one

A society like ours
we kill artists here
tainting their message, their politics
the idea we hold so dear
perhaps it’s best you lived til 31
to make music with the heavens
to answer to no one

No one

For us it’s ideal
It’s your words we steal
to vandalize city concrete walls
Your name we call while we kneel

We’ll hike down to Memphis
and moon dance to Zepplin
soaking up wine
and we won’t head back in 

A society like ours
we kill artists here
tainting their message, their politics
the idea we hold so dear
perhaps it’s best you lived til 31
to make music with the heavens
to answer to no one

A society like ours
we kill artists here
tainting their message, their politics
the idea we hold so dear
perhaps it’s best you lived til 31
to make music with the heavens
to answer to no one

No one
No one

Higher you go
begins your final show
We love you and you know
La muerte es solo el comienzo
