You were forced into these grounds
You possessed no free will
Either you were inconvenient
Or you were thrown into a house to fill
Life at all is always a gift
You didn’t do anything to breathe
But here you are and with every breath
You're stealing from the unborn like a thief

When the day of death arrives
It won’t care what you accomplished
In your life you’ll bet your dice
So consider yourself abolished
