A morose fount of human Death that lies before me, 
At the end of this thornclad road 
My wounds are deep, 
My cries are harsh 
Was it Hell that I witnessed, has my time come? 
Or may I stay to witness the Devil's work? 

Time to die; it has been far too long 
Sternly bound I depart from this foul 
And morbid life as it has given me nothing 

A morose fount of human Death lies before me 
A creature of all my woes and awes, an entrance for me to pass 

What importance am I? 
Evil is in the deed of every man 

Everything pure may go lose as the ways of evil are opening 
Wider and ever darker, 
A shadow cast of the Devil 

Time to die; it has been far too long 
Sternly bound I depart from this foul 
And morbid life as it has given me nothing 

Everywhere, and all around I see what you don't see; 
I see the vastness of the accuser 

Time to die; it has been far too long 
Sternly bound I depart from this foul 
And morbid life as it has given me nothing
