When the mist rises from the graves
From the damp earth
And the mischief from the coffins
Crawls into cool freedom
When the evening draws to a close
Is leaning towards the night
And the air smells of chrysanthemums
And smells of entrails
Then our time has come
Then we emerge from the dreams
Lurking on the ivy leaves
That line the cemetery wall
Our house reflects the sky
The cunning burns in the eyes -
God protect that person
He who has never met us
Fear us! Wherever you go
Wherever you lay your head
Wherever your bed is
From the deepest cellar to the
Cross of the highest church tower
We live and we die
In the sign, in the sign of the worm
When the full moon separates slender branches
From the young bark
And clouds form like a net
All around Spinning the globe
When the cold light clothes the tribes
Like bone men
And the drops of infinity
Run through weak fingers
Then we appear, that End
On the barren stage of life
We who know no mercy
No repentance, no atonement
We remind us of the farewell
The last dance, the end
The stench and the decay
The maggot's tender kiss
Fear us! Wherever you go
Wherever you lay your head
Wherever your bed is
From the deepest cellar to the
Cross of the highest church tower
We live and we die
In the sign, in the sign of the worm
