Farewell Lyrics

Dark is my grave
With no one but me
Cold is the earth
It is one with me

Null and void I'm at last and the sickness will end
(Don't judge, you haven't seen what I've seen)

When the glass breaks I shall be free
The sands poured out, no longer me
Here dread holds me
And my trial's soon done so let me go!

Dark is my grave
With no one but me
Cold is the earth
It is one with me

Null and void I'm at last and the sickness will end
(This life was mine
Don't patronise, you haven't been what I've been)

Here I've learned to be humble
And to bow my head and tremble
Here I've learned how fear tastes
Just let me go!

Oh, tomb! Embrace me!
Smother this corpse, squeeze dust through my fingers
Oh, gloom! My rest!
Wrap me in this night!

The sick man's farewell
I depart from this world of pain
I escape this hell
Where the sorrows are suffered in vain

It is a lost cause
It is a prison cell
This is my loss
I depart, the sick man's farewell

Yellow skin, dry as parchment
Hollow coughs, tunes for the underworld
Hollow tunes for the farer
That departs, descending

The sick man's farewell
I depart from this world of pain
I escape this hell
Where the horrors are suffered in vain

It is a lost cause
It is a prison cell
This is my loss
I depart! The sick man's farewell!

These words left behind
My epitaph, my absolution!
Last gifts from the farer
Traveling on, descending!
