Lyrics for St. John
I live, yet do not live I wait as life goes by This life I live alone, I view As robbery of life And so it is a constant death With no way out at all God hear me, what I say is true I do not want this life I am so removed from you, I say What kind of life can I have I pity me yet my fate is clear I will keep up this lie The fish taken from out the sea Is not without reprieve Its dying is a brief affair And then it it brings relief Yet, what convulsive death Can be as bad as my own life I live, yet do not live at all I die, yet do not die at all The more I live, the more I die The more I live, the more I die I live, yet do not die at all I die, yet do not live at all I live yet do not live I wait as life goes by This life I live alone I view As robbery of life And so it is a constant death With no way out at all God hear me, what I say is true I do not want this life I am so removed from you, I say What kind of life can I have I pity me yet my fate is clear I will keep up this lie The fish taken from out the sea Is not without reprieve Its dying is a brief affair And then it it brings relief Yet what convulsive death Can be as bad as my own life I live, yet do not live at all I die, yet do not die at all The more I live, the more I die The more I live, the more I die I live, yet do not die at all I die, yet do not live at all
