Controlling their lives
Deciding when and how they will die
A victim of someone else's choice
The ones who suffer have no voice

Manipulating destiny

When it comes to living
No one seems to care
But when it comes to wanting out
Those with power
Will be there

Prolong the pain
How long will it last?
Suicide machine
A request to die with dignity
Is that too much to ask?
Suicide machine

How easy it is to deny
The pain
Of someone else's
Suffering

Robbed of natural abilities
In death they now seek tranquility
In a confused state of mind
Extending agony, they must be blind

Manipulating destiny

When it comes to living
No one seems to care
But when it comes to wanting out
Those with power
Will be there

Prolong the pain
How long will it last?
Suicide machine
A request to die with dignity
Is that too much to ask?
Suicide machine

    Probably the best death metal song ever.

    The song is about euthanasia, I think it raises a great point.

    "Is that too much to ask, suicide ma....CHINE!!" \m/
