There was never much joy in life for me And not much terror in the grave I've worked the hours just to see That I was not one to save Waiting for the failing breath Wishing this one is the last Longing for the shade of death Angry at my wasted cast The shade, the silence that must part My earthbound bodies life from me And I hate God with all my heart Who made me work down to my knee Although I know that I have lost Every hope about my life Worked too hard and then I am tossed Alone I face my final strife
