my soul to take
where to look, who to blame, this the question
how to live, what to do, no longer sane
all these things tear, rip, and gnaw at my brain
this is their goal, this is their suppression
woe on the day guardian angels die
left bare, naked, deprived of all your grace
oh cold lonely world, no hearth or safe place
woe on the day when love becomes a lie
oh to gaze upon this barren landscape
'tizz a sadness only it can command
so barren, so empty, not even sand
was it the gods? is this our final fate?
so silent the night, will i ever wake?
or will this be the end, my soul to take
