Sterile Death, Without Mourning

Tired
Have you wept
And fasted?

Asleep
Have you wept
And prayed?
I have seen
The eternal death
I have blessed
The song of death

Swaddled with darkness, cherish Christ
Alive body sweats acid, poison
Wishing to rinse it into your river
Tired, have you wept and fasted?
Asleep, have you wept and prayed?
Here is no God, but only death!
Death and no God
And the blooodstained road
The road of pain and salvation
Salvation from life's illusions
If there was only a God, ruling death?
Silence prevails!
Sterile death, without mourning!
