 Cross the river stealthily but quickly 
Throw the grenade to your very death
Watch It explode just as your face did when you ran in 
Look at the light as your life passes by 
Watch the flame move back and forth from life to death- and back 
Can you see it flicking as fast as your slowing heartbeat

Watch yourself choke as you travel on to an all but forgotten death 
Taste the blood that brings death to your collapsing throat 
The room is silenced as you leave us just as alone  as we were when we had started 
Enter a vague existence that nobody knows of, but everybody predicts
