Greeting Mausolus' Tomb Lyrics

O my captain, my sole reason of existence
As I enter your majestic tomb to end my life
In the company of thousands of servants
and once loved horses
I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thank you not so much for the way you lived
But for the way you died
A humble lesson to us all
Always aspiring to beauty and riches
The repulsion I feel at the foul smell
of your rotten body in death
Can only be matched by my utter contempt
At your hideous demeanour in life

This existence has never seemed more meaningless and vain
So I embrace my awful death with passion
And look forward to the suffocating moment
That will forever take away my pointless breath of life
