Decima: "The Autonomous Dead Mother."
From Wikipedia: A décima refers to a ten-line stanza of poetry, and the song form generally consists of forty-four lines (an introductory four-verse stanza followed by four ten-line stanzas).

Yo ya estoy muerto (I’m already dead)
I died when the world lost color
I died when the world fed off each other
I died when my own flesh and blood wrote away her love
I died when everyone decided it was good to give up thinking
Antes de ser muerto (before I became dead)
Before I died I saw color
Before I died the world ate fruits and vegetables
Before I died my flesh and blood wrote about peace
Before I died, everybody thought for themselves

Because the decima has Spanish origins, I decided to add some lines in spanish. I was watching Interview with the Vampire when I wrote this, but i'm not sure if I made an impact on inspiration.
