Farewell

Dark is my grave
With no one but me
Cold is the earth
It is one with me

Null and void I'm at last and the sickness will end
Don't judge, you haven't seen what I've seen

When the glass breaks I shall be free
The sands poured out, no longer me
Here dread holds me
And my trial's soon done so let me go

Dark is my grave
with no one but me
Cold is the earth
It is one with me

Null and void I'm at last and the sickness will end
This life was mine
Don't patronise, you haven't been what I've been

Here I've learned to be humble
And to bow my head and tremble
Here I've learned how fear tastes
Just let me go

Oh, tomb! Embrace me
Smother this corpse, squeeze dust through my fingers
Oh, gloom! My rest
Wrap me in this night

The sick man's farewell
I depart from this world of pain
I escape this hell
Where the sorrows are suffered in vain

It is a lost cause
It is a prison cell
This is my loss
I depart, the sick man's farewell

Yellow skin, dry as parchment
Hollow coughs, tunes for the underworld
Hollow tunes for the farer
That departs, descending

The sick man's farewell
I depart from this world of pain
I escape this hell
Where the horrors are suffered in vain

It is a lost cause
It is a prison cell
This is my loss
I depart, the sick mans farewell

These words left behind
My epitaph, my absolution
Last gifts from the farer
Traveling on, descending
