6.	: out of mind (a rhyme for the dead) : 01:44	lyrics	buy track
No need for words, No need for a song. The dead man is dead, He's finally dead You can't ask a man to dig his own grave, To pay for his own funeral And you can't ask a man to pay for a other's funeral There's no such thing as heritage, no such thing as kinship or ancestry. It's only us and nature. Us and our nature, Our falling, deadly nature. Dead man is dead. No need for words, Nor anymore deeds For he is finally dead.
