Death in the Summer

Death in the Summer 1998 (Chlef)



Tik tok
The clock is ticking
The morning comes
And duty is calling
You don't want to answer but that might bring you trouble
There's no peace in life of control
There's no freedom in the season of melons and calm waters
Maybe life will smile one day
But bitterness isn't going to bring any sugar to it
Your desk is your casket, sometimes
And you feel suffocated
And in your head you think
That only you, are given hell and the rest heaven
Night showers don't help anymore
You know the fate of tomorrow from today's afternoon
Carry me through the summer
I'm trying not to lose the life left in me until the winter
