Description
Be the light, I can follow
And a moth I will be.
With eyes black and hollow
You will be I'll only see.

Be a child surrounded by love
And adulthood I will be.
Taking away all the fun
And only wrinkles I will give.

Be a wife on your man's side
And an infant I will be.
I'll grow up grinding your time
Like the millstone all the seed.

Be a man; healthy and strong
And the hard work I will be.
With my cousin Illness we'll come
And poverty you'll only see.

In the dark slum be a beggar
And some dry bread I will be.
By my dying I will murder
For now your hunger I will kill.

But at the gallows we'll meet again
There a black crow I will be.
Piercing your eyes I'll eat your flesh,
Take you to Hell on my wings.
