Lyrics by John Hall
Music by Roger Bourland
Give Us A Death Undiminished
Give us a death undiminished by petty pains
No time remains for selfish gains.
Give us a death undiminished by who’s to blame;
Selective shame’s a foolish game.
So give us death with dignity;
A final breadth, infinity awaits.
We’re at the gates.
And with our death please signify
That we were here, no need to cry.
Just look us in the eye.
