Your emptiness overwhelms me 
 Thrusts and overtakes me 
 This shrine of black tears 
 Within a vault of black prayers 
 The universe caves in, I’m on fire 
 Let the end begin, take courage! 
    And when nothing remains 
 No love nor pain 
 In this illusion 
 This tomb of seasoned dye 
 The universe caves in, I’m on fire 
 Let the end begin, take courage!   
 From the slow decay of life 
 To the galloping empty days 
 I would have flung myself in the fire 
 But I hesitate 
 And the antimatter within my heart 
 From this nothing leaves, nothing enters 
 The useless lingering and severed love 
 This lit de parade 
 A carrion flower dressed in the sun 
 A blinding image bathed in providence 
 And should you stray from the path 
 You shall know them by their fruits   
 I should have flung myself in the fire, I really should 
 I should have flung myself in the fire, I really should
