Once more into the nowhere place

To slumber in the cold

Adrift through endless night

Untethered to your world

Your hearth gives comfort

By night it does glow

But that is not for me to know

The food on your table is rich I'm told

But that is not for me to know

Through your body life still flows

But that is not for me to know

The fragrance in your garden is sweet

When flowers come into bloom

The sickly scent of death is all that lingers in this tomb

The darkness is vast

The halls are narrow

Where I lay dreaming in my barrow

My body is still

The walls are crawling

Writhing, lurching, stinging, gnawing

The frayed end of a threadbare life

I gave nothing of worth

But now I return all I stole

The dead replenish the earth
