In a long wrathless reverie Spectacular displays of human suffering Wrapped in endless cycles Understanding life and death To suffer all its torments For a few moments of glory
Eternal fire and torment Everlasting torment Until time is no more
I felt life burning Through the coldness of myself Invading every particle of me I felt pain in my heart I was too miserable To take much consolation from feeling good
Eternal fire and torment Everlasting torment Until time is no more
I felt that profound release Of the utterly grief-stricken I was perishing from exhaustion I was worn and miserable Like mortals who tumble through life From cradle to grave in oblivious slumber
