Visionoir People Die Lyrics

Once upon a time I was invited to the house
Of the old little buddy, the master of the mice
The house standed huge, it looked like little castle
But we came here to talk, we didn't want to wrestle
The buddy's name was J, but some may call him God
He died on a cross and then began to rot
It was a long time ago, now he's resurrected
And back into the world - poisoned and infected

Tell me why, people die, tell me why - I said
I tried to think it over, but it nested in my head
You will tell me truth tonight, my dear
And cut away the cancer that is growing out of fear

Tell me why
People die
Tell me why

J sat quietly and wrung his hands down
He admitted that the answer is the thing he'd never found
He travelled through the worlds and everywhere's the same
People die, people die, and the death has not one name
I remember this one man I've been watching, he was fresh
Suddenly a strange thing happened, he became a flesh
Another loss was caused by the cruelty of time
What scares me here the most is that loss can soon be mine

Tell me why, people die, tell me why - I said
I tried to think it over, but it nested in my head
The truth doesn't show as easy as I want
But I won't stop asking 'till the answers come along

Tell me why
People die
Tell me why

(It nested in my head and won't wave goodbye
No wonder that people die)

Many years now past and J is dead again
Dismembered and forgotten by the inventors of pain
Inventors called people, the ones that never stay
The ones from whom the spark of life always goes away

Tell me why, people die, tell me why - I said
I tried to think it over, but it nested in my head
The truth will never come, the truth is trapped outside
Growing out of fear, the cancer comes in time

Tell me why
People die
Tell me why

(It nested in my head, so now I won't lie
I can't stand the fact that people die)
