Exist, Or Exist Not (Spoken Majestic 1b)
[Spoken Verse 1] Exist, or exist not — ponder this, I do... Suffer the cruelties that fortune hurls, nobler it is, hmm? Or rise against your troubles, fight them, strike them down... Hard to say, it is... To be no more, sleep is... And in this sleep, the pain, the weariness... The thousand miseries that come with living... Gone, would they be... Wished for, such an ending is... Desired, deeply... [Spoken Chorus 1] But tricky, this sleep is... For in death's sleep, come dreams might... Aye, there lies the problem... Left this body behind, have we — what dreams come then, hmm? Pause, that gives you... Think, it makes you... [Spoken Verse 2] Bear the whip of tyrants, why do we, hmm? Cruel, the proud man is... Grieve, the lover does... Delayed, justice is... Abused, power is... Endure these things, the weary do... End it all, so easily could they... With a bare blade, nothing more... [Spoken Chorus 2] But fear what waits beyond, we do... That dark beyond death's door... Returned from there, no one has... Clings to us, that fear does... Bear the suffering we know... Rather than face what know we not... [Spoken Verse 3] Cowards of us all, this thinking makes... Pale, does the glow of bold resolve become... Meant for doing, great deeds are... Sideways turn they, lost their way becomes... Drowned in too much thought, action is... [Spoken Chorus 3] Exist, or exist not... Answering this, easy it is not... Carry on, most will... Afraid of the dark beyond, all of us are... Remain, the question does... Always ponder this, I do... [End]
