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.
