Was translated from Metallica's song "One" a slow afternoon at work.
I know some of it is rather forced (esp. some from second verse "Back in the womb..."), OTOH there's a few nice ones too. But you'll have to put up with it anyway since I'm rather new to Perl. Any input is appreciated.

$awake = true; $vision = false;

if (!/pain/) { $_ = "unreal"; }

0; $Prayer = "Please! Wake me!";

&Tied($ME, $Machines); $Me = "be";
&Cut("this life",0,"me");

NOW: { $World = 0; $I = 1; }
0; $Prayer = "Help me";

#I Can't Remember Anything
#Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
#Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
#this Terrible Silence Stops Me
#Now That the War Is Through with Me
#I'm Waking up I Can Not See
#That There Is Not Much Left of Me
#Nothing Is Real but Pain Now
#
#Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
#Oh Please God,wake Me
#
#Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
#in Pumps Life That I must Feel
#but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
#Look to the Time When I'll Live
#Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
#Just like a Wartime Novelty
#Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
#Cut this Life off from Me
#
#Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
#Oh Please God,wake Me
#
#Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
#Oh God,help Me
#Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
#Oh Please God Help Me
#
#Darkness
#Imprisoning Me
#All That I See
#Absolute Horror
#I Cannot Live
#I Cannot Die
#Trapped in Myself
#Body My Holding Cell
#
#Landmine
#Has Taken My Sight
#Taken My Speech
#Taken My Hearing
#Taken My Arms
#Taken My Legs                        
#Taken My Soul                        
#Left Me with Life in Hell
