DEATH with capitol letters of course! So stands the GREAT TEACHER with capitol letters of course! His knocking at the door Stops time. Late afternoon has arrived and we thought it still morning. Night is coming and we still imagine revenge DEATH is knocking at the door and we still imagine revenge When DEATH knocks at the door the sunlight changes The light outside the window is thick and the shadows wide they can be cut with a knife Sliced with the knife of fear DEATH IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR now time is in slow motion until it is forgotten and runs faster than before running out once more.

CAPITOL LETTERS
DEATH
with capitol letters
of course!
So stands the GREAT TEACHER
with capitol letters
of course!
His knocking at the door
Stops time.
Late afternoon has arrived
and we thought it
still morning.
Night is coming
and we still imagine revenge
DEATH
is knocking at the door
and we still
imagine revenge
When DEATH
knocks at the door
the sunlight changes
The light outside the window
is thick and the shadows wide
they can be cut with a knife
Sliced with the knife of fear
DEATH IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
now time is in slow motion
until it is forgotten
and runs faster than before
running out
once more.
