Will I die a painful death

Or will I die a peaceful one

Death is certain

This, I know

But will I die a painful death

Or will I die a peaceful one.

 

 

Will I get run over by a moving train

Or will I die in my sleep

Will I get crushed by a site crane

Or will I drown as I swim

 

Will I get hit by a bus

Driven by a man with a drink

Or will I get shot in the head

By a lunatic with Al Qaeda link

 

Will I die of a sickness without cure

Or will I die of a broken heart

Will I die in a collapsed building

Or will I die in a plane crash

 

Will I die drowning in wealth

As I choke on Newton’s apple

Or will I die atop wretchedness

As I scramble for Lazarus’ crumbs

 

Will I die from electrocution

My body, still like a man at peace

Or will I die from gas explosion

My body, well, there’s no peace in this

 

Will I die a painful death

Or will I die a peaceful one

Death is certain

This, I know

But will I die a painful death

Or will I die a peaceful one.
