Oh death embrace me,
Oh death come close and end my life,
Stop my beating heart, end it's pain
If you had the power wouldn't I cease
to be?
But you are a tool, not the Creator
An object, not God
The God Who gives life also gives death
Oh God why have you cursed me to live?
Why did You make me seeing my life?
Why did You not end me seeing what
would happen?
That my slaughter would be Your
delight, that You would have this mercy on me
You have left me here on this island,
away from my longing; to lay down in the grave
You gave me a voice but made it
difficult for me to speak,
You gave me compassion but you made it
difficult for me to show love,
You gave me family but now I must watch
as they all pass away,
You gave me life, but I long for the
end.
I cannot help but see Your blessings,
meaning in throughout the moments
I thank You for the virtues that come
from Your Salvation,
But I long for a desert to go to,
detachment from the family I love
If I go away I may find contentment, if
I stay I will continue to face hardship
You are just in all You do, the
universe is Yours forever
You will live forever, on earth people
can always be in relationship with You
When I pass away, You will remain
Whoever speaks to the dead speaks in
vain, but whoever seeks You is committed to a virtue
Oh death, bow before Him!
If He commands you to strike me let it
be my delight,
If my heart stops beating praise God
with me,
He has the power; may He end my life on
earth.
