A Hideous Nightmare Lie Upon the World Lyrics by Old Man Gloom

The Ape of God II

2014

*It has occurred to me
I am reminded
That something very sweet
Words or deeds or actions.*
Somebody, please help
Crushed by all these bodies
LET THEM IN
WHO INVITED YOU?
I DID! I DID!
Helpless, helpless
Refuse the proffered hand
Help me. Don't help me
Feel the grit in your teeth
Black cloud consummation
Slow death, coming
“He’s not dying, Doctor; I don’t know why. He sounds like he’s dying, but he won’t die. He keeps dying like he’s dying, but he won’t die.”
“Ok, well, just give him more time and let him die. He’ll die soon, I’m sure.”
“Sh-Should we help him, Doctor?”
“No, don’t help him, just let him go. Just let him die. I’m sure it will happen soon. Just give him his time and he will soon pass.”
“But he seems like he’s struggling doctor, he seems like he needs some help.”
“No, don’t help him, his wishes are not to be helped.”
“Doctor, I can’t stand it. It’s driving me crazy, I can’t stay up another night watching him. He just breathes. Someone put him out of his misery.”
“No, we’re not to. His instructions specifically said: don’t let him have his time, let him die. He’s really--”
“But doctor, he’s in so much pain, I can’t take it.”
“No, no, stop. Trust me, I’m a doctor. You’ve got to trust me.”
Minutes crawl by, one by one
Precious life wasted
Drop by drop
One by one
Drop by drop
