The falling stars you wished upon
Are cinders now and now they're gone
Their residue festoons my fetid field
Revealing husks of lovers past
Their shells are all that ever last—
I've taken everything that they've concealed
Whoever told you life was fair?
Look around you everywhere, the cruelty of Nature is displayed
Why the scorn? Why the surprise?
Everything that's born must die and it isn't I who made the world that way
What wicked little twist of fate placed you here upon my plate?
Here where no one hears your cries?
Where was your God to steer you through?
Perhaps your God's forsaken you?
Otherwise, why lead you here to die?
I know the way how, I'll melt away now
I know the way
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist, how strangely I go away
Now I finally know
It's merely moments now
Moments now until your feeble flesh bends to my will—
And it will, so rest your weary head
There'll be no pain, no pain at all
As everything you are dissolves
Your fate resolved upon my silky threads
I know the way how, I'll melt away now
I know the way
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist, how strangely I go away
Now I finally know
