This terrible writhe I rot away Oh, hear my prayer My soul is trying to slip away
I...I die Pray for my soul All hope is gone
Agony, please set me free Remove this pain from me Let me be Oh, my god
Eternity now awaits Going towards him I am embracing god My soul is free, I have peace
Once... once again I sense the gaiety The gaiety of flowers on green meadows
2. A Poem For The Dead
Grace and peace be yours, the dead Greet me with open arms, silently crying Ever faithful on to me, even when you are dead
You, whom I loved My joy and crown If you still were here May your spirit rest Rejoice, your soul, is free Blessed be and peace to you And love with faith from him My undying love
(your) glory is like the flowers of the field Like roses will fall, their remembrance is forever
The lord is yours I shall not want a past that now is lost Silence and grief, my heart is lone I cry for you, my love I breathe, for you, I live for you I will long rue you, too deeply to tell A wreath - my farewell I rue you - grief bites hard Tears now flow for you
3. Yearning For Heaven
First came the wings, then came peace An angel sweetly embracing me As the clouds continued to thicken As far as eyes could see
Farewell, I loved you ever Forever Now flights of angels sung me to rest
As the trees shed their leaves Salvation's final, arrival (was) bringing delight upon me I ascended to thee Finally, I find myself entwined In bitterness and sweet bliss
Raining tears Lay me in the earth And from my flesh may voilets spring Silently within myself I weep in sorrow For the beloved whom I have, lost So many times, way too many My soul darkens I can not love anymore In fear of losing you Forever
