I Am a Name on Your Funeral Wreath - Spiritus Mortis

Forever I wander among the graves

I adore the mystery beneath

Tombstones and catacombs

I am a name on your funeral wreath

We who are in love with death

Celebrate its gladsome wedding

We are engaged to the underground

A ceremony of ecstatic tearshedding

Your voyage is over

Now you can rest

You shall not feel pain anymore

Your burden is gone

Taken away from your shoulders

Your mind is cleared from heavy loads

Rest now in tranquility

And foreverlasting silence and bliss

We who still live

Escort you now to the masters of cosmic infinity

We who live continue your work

You shall live in our memories and deeds

When we bury you we bury ourselves

We are bound to the longing

It has become our sweet prison

All right now!

And what is the horror of one

Who feels the encounter in death

When compared to the horror of

An unborn child who senses the approaching life
