Lying dead in the gutter
No god saw him fall

LL: Right! It is good to have faith LL, gives you something to hold on to and a good map to steer through life. I have just soured on the whole thing, especially when there are folks killing in the name of their god and the supreme being hasn't seen fit to put an end to it all. If there is a heavenly father he is guilty of child neglect.

R-man: They are such bright and cheerful birds, I love watching them hop around.

SJ: Indeed!!!

In Wicca, there's a saying about the cycle of life/death/rebirth:

"Corn and grain / all the falls shall rise again. Hoof and horn / all that dies shall be reborn."

Death is needed for life to continue, but it's just one stop in the endless, limitless turning wheel.
