To Death (feat. Lefteris Mantzioukas)

Hear me, O Death, whose empire unconfined

Extends to mortal tribes of every kind

On you, the portion of our time depends

Whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends

On you, the portion of our time depends

Whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends

Your sleep perpetual bursts the vivid folds

By which the soul, attracting body holds

Common to all of every sex and age

For none escapes your all-destructive rage

Common to all of every sex and age

For none escapes your all-destructive rage

Not youth itself your clemency can gain

Strong, by you untimely slain

In you, the end of nature's works is known

In you, all judgment is absolved alone

In you, the end of nature's works is known

In you, all judgment is absolved alone

No suppliant arts your dreadful rage control

No vows revoke the purpose of your soul

O blessed power regard my ardent prayer

And human life to age abundant spare

O blessed power regard my ardent prayer

And human life to age abundant spare
