Vanitas
My Wet Grave
For the last time I closed my eyes
Say farewell to humanity now
It has been a need for me for a long time
This last one step to take
my heart beats slowly, in the certainty
that it has fulfilled its duty
to guide and desire me poor
until it itself is cooled down... and dies
now there is neither night nor day
I am enveloped in darkness
a golden writing remembers the time
when I still felt like you
but your flowers have long since withered
and your wreaths have weathered
only rubble and stone is anything What's left is
my soul is bitter
I rest in my cold coffin
embedded in my watery grave
died as part of humanity
I rest here now everyone day
locked in my wet grave
no thought is wasted on me
