This One Now

I’ve lived all the lives
But I choose this one now 

I’ve been to the edge 
Past this little playground 

I’ve seen the great end 
Of humankind
I didn’t frown 

I’ve known the sacred sound 

I’ve met the demon girl who keeps
the screams
Of hell from spilling out 

I’ve heard the solemn silence 
Ringing endless in the ears of time 

I’ve heard it all 

It’s all so loud 

I’ve lived all the lives 
And still I choose
this one now
