The falling stars you wished upon
Are cinders now and now they're gone
Their residue festoons my fetid field
Revealing husks of lovers past
Their shells are all that ever last
I've taken everything that they've concealed

Whoever told you life was fair?
Look around you everywhere
the cruelty of Nature is displayed
Why the scorn? Why the surprise?
Everything that's born must die
and it isn't I who made the world that way

What wicked little twist of fate
placed you here upon my plate?
Here where no one hears your cries?
Where was your God to steer you through?
Perhaps your God's forsaken you?
Otherwise, why lead you here to die?

I know the way how, I'll melt away now
I know the way
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist
how strangely I go away
Now I finally know

It's merely moments now
Moments now until your feeble flesh bends to my will
And it will, so rest your weary head
There'll be no pain, no pain at all
As everything you are dissolves
Your fate resolved upon my silky threads

I know the way how, I'll melt away now
I know the way
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist
how strangely I go away
Now I finally know
