At One With The Earth - Lyrics by Anathema


Lyrics
The intense grasp death's strangle-hold has over meconfines me to my own personal agony
Set me free, let me go
Release the chilling grasp with which it clutches me The earth issues it's extreme unction as I realise my punishment for sin Enguifed by death for all eternity In my bones I no longer feel the cold as the mire unbosoms it's secrets to me
Ubiquitous fetidness, death is everywhere
My God, unshackle me
My suffering grows with increase of my guilt
Destroy devotion. Be at one with the earth
I sink down into the clammy soil
At one with the earth.
