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
