The intense grasp death's strangle-hold has over me

confines me to my own personal agony

Set me free, let me go

Release the chilling grasp with which it clutches me



The earth issues it's extreme unction

as I realise my punishment for sin

Enguifed by death for all eternity

In my bones I no longer feel the cold

as the mire unbosoms it's secrets to me



Ubiquitous fetidness, death is everywhere

My God, unshackle me



My suffering grows with increase of my guilt

Destroy devotion. Be at one with the earth

I sink down into the clammy soil

At one with the earth
