In the moonlight   By the sea   In a country   In a town   Now quickly   Now slowly   Now in pain   Now in love      In different shapes   When I was young   When I was young   I used to dream   And the wind blows   And the owl sings   And dogs are driven wild   And dogs break their chains   And run through the lands   A prey to madness   With wild eyes dying   With wild eyes burning   They raise their heads   They swell their cold necks   Like a cat that's ripped its guts   Like a hungry child's breath   Like a woman about to give birth   Like a young girl singing   At the stars in the north   At the stars in the south   At the stars in the west   At the stars in the east   At the moon   At the mountains   At the rocks   At the pain   At the thief   At the snakes      Reveal their black black backs   Fresh flesh   Glazed eyes stare   From long pale human faces   We cannot satisfy the hopes   We are now dead   We are all dead      The hammer breaks the anvil      From the cleft of its hood   It was fair as morning and full of heaven dew   Then it put on darkness declined its softness   And put on th symptoms of its sickly age   It bowed its head and broke its stalk   It lost its leaves and all its beauty   Falling to weeds and unknown faces   Of man and woman   The black heritage   Of worms and serpents   Rottenness   And cold discharge   Out beauty is now so changed   My friends      By violence and secret influence   The aspect of a star and the stink of a mist   By emissions of a cloud   The meeting of a vapour      By the fall of a chariot and the stumbling at a stone   By a full meal or an empty stomach   By watching at wine or by watching at prayers   By the sun or the moon   By a heat or a cold   By sleepless nights or sleeping days   By water frozen   To the hardness of a dagger   Or water thawed into the floods of a river   By a hair or a current   By violent motion   By sitting still   Or severely   By dissolution   By God's mercy   Or God's anger      We take pains to heap up things useful to our life   And get our deaths in the purchase and the person is   Snatched away and the goods remain and all this is   The law and constitution of nature unveiled it is a   Punishment to our sins      The unalterable event of providence and the decree of   Heaven
