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
