Vanitas
My Cold Grave
For the last time I close my eyes
Say farewell to humanity now
It has been a need for me for a long time
This last step to do
my heart beats slowly, in the certainty
that it has fulfilled its duty
to guide and warm me
until it Now you yourself will cool down and die
Now there is neither night nor day
I am covered in darkness
A golden writing remembers the time
When I was still like you felt
but your flowers have long since withered
and your wreaths have weathered
only rubble and stone is what remains
my soul is Embittered
Now I rest here in my coffin,
Embedded in my cold grave,
Perished as part of humanity
I rest here every day now,
Enclosed in my cold grave,
no thought is wasted on me
