My pale face contemplates death Closed eyes, acceptance Death will be my greatest glory Oh endless plenitude, grant me the so wished harmony! Inexorable fate, invincible death Life's sunset, dawn of the dead Great reward upon the abyss A confort for my humiliating disgrace Tear away my memories And make myself poor and cold Enclosed, anguished An empty soul Reveal thee, oh unknown one! Disclose, at least, under thy eternal form Immutable, below and beyond the times Thou art the one who crucifies us Because thy perennial face is always concealed Ultimatum for the living And, at last, absolute rest Illusion's harvested, nooses are broken Life exhorts and death anaesthetizes Now I awake from my inner darkness No remains from the past, no nostalgia for life
