as if there had been an option,
a choice in this matter
called life
champions of “if” we are
always hoping
on and on
but the graveyard cures us
no more “ifs”
no options left
and luckily no illusions either
these were lives, too
disappointed and vain
us and them
here and beyond
but the grass and the blackbirds
the sun and the rain
and the days the days the days
remain
lyrics by Kat Diestel

Very nice. I feel that 5 limit JI is quite limited and the piece itself is quite simple, but the recitation along with the lyrics add a lot to it. I really like the way she reads it overall good composition Personally just the background bit is too simple but that could be because I listen to blisteringly fast death metal every day haha
