Não Tenho Medo da Morte

I'm not afraid of death
But afraid of dying
What would be the difference
You may ask
Is that death is already after
I stop breathing
Dying is still here
In life, in the Sun, in the air
There may still be pain
Or the urge to pee

Death is already after
There will be no one
Like me here now
Thinking about the beyond
There will be no beyond
The beyond will already be then
I won't have a leg or head
Nor liver, nor lung
How could I be afraid
If I won't have a heart?

I'm not afraid of death
But afraid of dying, yes
Death is after me
But I'm the one who will die
My ultimate act
And I will have to be present
Just like a president
Swearing in the successor
I will have to die while living
Knowing that I'm already leaving

Then at that moment yes
I may feel a shock
A fainting spell, a blow
A shiver or a touch
Natural things of life
Like eating, walking
Dying a death caused
Dying a death died
Maybe I'll feel nostalgia
Like in any farewell
