The Knot

do not kill a man when he is aware of his sins
do not hold him when he is sure he has loved from within
do not pray for death when life is to blame
do not eagerly wait for the heart to be tamed

do not pin hope to the wall like a butterfly undead
do not cry when you feel your life is a threat
do not kiss the night away when love is forgiven
do not cry from the altar of madness undriven

do not fire the bullet which is lost in the crowd
do not play with the thought that will scream oh so loud
do not turn to your hate when love has grown cold
do not please the maid when the lady is old

do not eat from the flesh that your body has made
do not turn to rage when the young start to fade
do not cure the priest when his sins feel forlorn
do not cut the rope when the tie is undone

do not walk in the rain when you still need to run
do not follow your dreams when the dream has long gone
do not pray for death when life is to blame
do not eagerly wait for the heart to be tamed
