current events and old songs

[darkmerlin]

so im sure that most everyone knows the Terri Schiavo situation. if not, here is a summary. in 1990, a woman went into a vegtable state (there are those that argue that she is in a comma), and has been in such a state for 15 years. her husband has been fighting her parents to get the life support taken off. this reminds me of a song by metallica called One, so i am going to post the lyrics.

I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up I can not see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the war it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must kill
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I lived

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life out from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Now the world is gone I’m just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
