[00:17.861]When all should be done and gone,
[00:19.963]He comes round again to see,
[00:22.020]He can't keep himself away.
[00:24.279]He touches her hand and it starts again.
[00:35.596]His work is an ugly mess.
[00:37.130]He prods and it cries in pain.
[00:39.403]He kicks and it starts to scream.
[00:41.211]He hurries away when she cannot see.
[00:52.717]When all should be done and gone,
[00:54.665]He comes round again to see,
[00:56.295]He can't keep himself away.
[00:58.744]He touches her hand and it
[01:00.667]Starts again.
[01:10.278]Moving so slowly,
[01:15.800]Droplets of kindness
[01:19.505]That poison and choke
[01:22.831]When this thing should have died long ago.
[01:33.529]The entrails are soft and warm,
[01:35.632]This time it must be the end.
[01:37.480]One touch and it lives again.
[01:39.633]He keeps it alive to be part of its pain
[01:42.029]And that's mercy.
[01:44.519]And that's compassion.
[01:46.232]And that's being good friends in a crisis.
[01:48.408]What's one corpse between friends?
[01:50.417]Oh
[01:52.326]Oh-oh-oh
[02:00.301]Leave it, boy.
[02:01.478]Just leave it alone.
[02:02.644]Stop scratching, or it'll never heal.
[02:04.379]Just let it lie in peace.
[02:05.587]Get out of the way,
[02:06.367]Get out of the way,
[02:07.604]The brakes cannot last for long.
[02:08.583]He knows he must let it go,
[02:10.644]He knows but he keeps a hold.
[02:12.850]He touches her hand and it
[02:15.104]Starts again.
[02:25.121]Ah!
[02:25.362]Ah!
[02:25.861]Ah!
[02:28.349]Moving so slowly,
[02:36.002]He drops it so gently,
[02:40.317]Urging its life
[02:42.830]To a peak to torment it again!
