Grievous Subsidence Lyrics

Truth shall spring out of the earth
despair blasts come from stars
essence is drained by cyclic eruption of time.

Transcendence shines in the glory of the corpses,
vermin prophetically reveal the path.

The white tree of anguish feeds the cancerous fruits,
congregations of iconoclasttic roots feast in the eye of Job.
The righteous drowns spirituality
pouring himself into the disciples of man.

May that night be barren ...
... may its morning stars become dark ...
... may no shout of joy be heard in it ...
... may it wait for daylight in vain ...
may those who curse days curse that day
and not see the first ray of dawn
those who are ready to rouse Leviathan!
May blackness overwhelm its light ...

Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb ?
Why is light given to those in misery and life to those who long for death ?
