Putrefaction, hurry oh beloved bride  To establish our lonely camp  Rejected by the world, rejected by god  My hope, lies in you    Take my paining body into the wonder of you  Smother my pain in your embrace  Worms devour thought and feeling    Take my paining body into the wonder of you  Smother my pain in your embrace  Worms devour thought and feeling    Hasten, decorate our chamber  For on a scootblack bier the silent lover  your dwelling shall reach  So hasten, prepare our bridal bed  Which shall sow with carnactions    To wonderful gratification, stifling bewitchment  Us black attired comrades followeth  Our wedding march ringeth from iron bells  And shrouds of green draperies hideth us    When storms ravish the worldly seas  When atrocities reign on the bloodfilled earth  When feuds are raging, we slumber thou and I  In contented peace    Take my paining body into the wonder of you  Smother my pain in your embrace  Worms devour thought and feeling    Take my paining body into the wonder of you  Smother my pain in your embrace  Worms devour thought and feeling    To ash in my ravished heart  Oh rich are you, wench, whom I dowry  Giveth me the great, the flourishing earth  Up here, do I suffer, though happines overcomes me  In the nether with you
