across the abyss this weary traveler struggles on casting his eyes upon the ground he cries out is there no end to this immortal pain that haunts me thou hast become the path and the way that leadeth to destruction be thou accursed be thou abolished be thou annihilated testify that all is vanity in heaven as on earth dressed in universal torment crying openly as i engage myself in prayer bring me through midnight to the sun as i enflame myself with prayer bring me through midnight to the sun everythings in motion everything lies still through the veil of sorrow and the pall of death everything s in motion everything lies still through the veil of sorrow and the pall of death like that of a drowning man his life flashes before him turning his eyes away in shame he cries out is there no pity for a blind man such as me thou has become the path and the way that leadeth to destruction be thou accursed be thou abolished be thou annihilated eyes feet hips start moving where the laurels grow another sacrifice stains the tomb of human despair as i enflame myself with prayer bring me through midnight to the sun everything s in motion everything lies still on the path of sorrows on the road to death
