Paralysed - Risk

Days of sorrow and unspoken pain

No tomorrow I will die in chains

Hollow sighs descend whispering down

Ghostly eyes fixing the iron lung

Soon I’ll be gone

On the bike, just you and me

And immortality

Leather jackets and tattoos

Born to Booze

No grief, no mercy, breath and bite

Unchained energy

Riding hard, fast and wild

We’re the youth

I pick up speed, the cycle rears

It is the final fight

Metal bursts, machine explodes

My last cry

Through the dark, the ambulance

Pulsing out red light

Like blood out shredded arteries

Shall I die

Don’t gaze at me

Set me free

And agree

To gods decree

No voice to crave

Please let me die

No hands to stroke

I’m paralysed

Doctor knows I can’t survive

And doesn’t let me go

Save me from a robot life

And break the law

Switch off the machinery

And don’t call the nurse

I’ll wake up among mysteries

Death or birth

Don’t gaze at me

Set me free

And agree

To gods decree

No voice to crave

Please let me die

No hands to stroke

I’m paralysed
