Death, No Less - Ben Frost
Lyrics by:David Pountney
Composed by:Ben Frost
My enemy is twice dead and I still have him
My enemy is twice dead and I still have him
My enemy is twice dead and I still have him
All our lives are symbols
Everything we do is part of a pattern
The strong make their own patterns
And influence other people's
The weak
The weak the unlucky and the stupid
After all
That's what men are for
Women can give birth
And men can kill
The wasp factory is part of the pattern
Because it is part of life and
Even more so of death
The factory can answer questions because
Every question is a start looking for an end
And the factory is about the end death no less
All our lives are symbols
Everything we do is part of a pattern
The strong make their own patterns
And influence other people's
The weak
The weak the unlucky and the stupid
After all
That's what men are for
Women can give birth
And men can kill
