why must you torment me
is it not enough
to one day
have my life
must you threaten
the only thing i care about too

lets take a gamble
you and i
wager? you ask
i want her life
what do i have to offer? you ask
well my own
of course

your silence
speaks louder than words
they say
are you not mine anyways
for you must one day die
its all a matter of time

well
consider this

one day
all of mankind
will be able to cheat you
it will start slowly
months, years and eventually
permanently

whos to say
just who will figure out this
fountain of youth, elixir of life
each generation greater than the last
whos to say
that i wont be the discoverer

and know this

if you cheat me
i will make it
my personal vow
to find that fountain
that elixir
to effectively

kill death

what say you now
is my offer more appealing
knowing
that there is not 2
but 3 lives
hanging in the balance

i can tell
i have your complete
attention
the room freezes
i entertain your presence
hate spewing from every inch

you hate me now
you think i am the monster
how dare i defy
something as old
as sacred
as death

the gamble?
straight to business now
thats more like it
it seems your laugh
so confident
is gone

the gamble?
what
no time for talk anymore
you arent anxious to collect
you are afraid
and i can feel it

the gamble
you repeat
eyes so cold
choking the very air
taking my life
is not in your power now

so lets begin

the way you win
if she chooses
you over me
your deathly looks
and mind numbing chills
have quite attracted her

i win when
she chooses me
my love
my hope
my devotion
my warmth

best three out of 5?
how can you ask such a question
afraid you are going to lose?
well i accpet that wager
and bet
that i will win five times of five

i bet
100 times of 100
and what do you have to match that bet
a few years of life?
a century
you will have to do better than that

the way to kill death?
now that
is a worthy bet
are you sure
you wish to wager that
there truly is 3 lives at risk now

Death…

10 years you will plague me
but after
we will be happy
not you
but me an her
because you

will be dead.

Let’s play.
