Open the Earth

Ever so deep in death

Lightning sunders the dark

Seized from the numb beyond

Return to the cage of ailing flesh

Child of accident and toil

Amid transitory joys

Existential armageddon

Uicturosque dei celant, ut uiuere durent,

felix esse mori

Doleful and reft of death's honor

Sentience a knowing anguish

The waking world is exile

Nothingness is our home

Uicturosque dei celant, ut uiuere durent,

felix esse mori

Relinquish us our daily dread

Forsake the vale of tears

Deliver us from angst

And grant the nepenthe of rest

Crawling decades stretch between

Void and nullity

Sever the hated coil of mortality
