When coldness wraps this suffering clay, Ah! Whither strays the immortal mind? It cannot die, it cannot stay But leaves it's darken'd dust behind Then, unembodied, doth it trace By steps each planet's heavenly way? Or fill at once the realms of space, A thing of eyes, that all survey? Eternal, boundless, undecay'd, A thought unseen, but seeing all, All, all in earth, or skies display'd, Shall it survey, shall it recall! Each fainter trace that memory holds, So darkly of departed years In one broad glance the soul beholds, And all, that was, at once appears. Before creation peopled earth, Its eye shall roll through chaos back; And where the furthest heaven had birth, The spirit trace its rising track And where the future mars or makes, Its glance dilate o'er all to be, While sun is quench'd or system breaks, Fix'd in its own eternity Above or love, hope, hate, or fear It lives all passionless and pure An age shall fleet like earthly years; Its years as moments shall endure Away, away, without a wing O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly; A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die

I had a dream, which was not all a dream The bright sun was extinguish'd and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; Morn came, and went – and came, and brought no day, And men forget their passions in dread Of this their desolation; The world was void The populous and the powerful was a lump Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless, A lump of death – a chaos of hard clay The rivers lakes, and ocean, all stood still, And nothing stirred within their silent depths; The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expired before; The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd; darkness had no need Of aid from them – she was the universe

I gaze at the gray sunless sky I feel the pain as I'm about to die To my grave I go To the pits of hell I shall flow My funeral march is crossing the cemetery slowly In the background lies the church so sad and lonely Strange things in the world of darkness I'll see Just like a nightmare it'll be I am far below the ground By chains in hell I have been bound I am hellbound Momento mori Mors ultima ratio Momento mori Requiescat in pace
