Feel the earth on my face, face down in ground,
Feel fire in my soul, cold yet burning,
See black consuming, entombing all sound,
See nothing at all, call words they’re spurning.

Be evermore still, chill in always flames,
Be nowhere but sent, bent in pain of years,
Nothing but decay, stay without remains,
Nothing but your ache, take only your fears.

Earth you now will be, free only to rot,
Earth you now will stay, way down beneath feet,
Fire will torment, spent till years forgot,
Fire punishing, brings past sins to greet.

Earth and fire, desire lost souls in time,
Fire and earth, worth only a simple rhyme.
