I am hunger's slave alone on a feathery bed
Whipped by life's looters, robbed of desires
Dreams are dreams, warmth a mere jest
In the midst of life, I am in death
Crave do not, hope will not, life a humongous naught
Hunger reigns whilst my soul tarries
Drown in slumber, the yet to come death
In the land of spirits I am with flesh
Diamond worth tears wasted at nights
Urge me to put an end to this misery
The eternal sleep, shall be the only solace
In the midst of life I am in death...
