Forever I wander among the graves
I adore the mystery beneath
Tombstones and catacombs
I am a name on your funeral wreath
We who are in love with death
Celebrate its gladsome wedding
We are engaged to the underground
A ceremony of ecstatic tearshedding
Your voyage is over
Now you can rest
You shall not feel pain anymore
Your burden is gone
Taken away from your shoulders
Your mind is cleared from heavy loads
Rest now in tranquility
And foreverlasting silence and bliss
We who still live
Escort you now to the vastness of cosmic infinity
We who live continue your work
You shall live in our memories and deeds
When we bury you we bury ourselves
We are bound to the longing
It has become our sweet prison
All right now!
And what is the horror of one
Who feels the encounter in death
When compared to the horror of
An unborn child who senses the approaching life
