O, black water, wash over me, and take it all away,
With it all streaming out behind me, born upon your wave.
I fear there's no strength left in me, to the water I succumb,
Its icy currents bathing me, I'm sinking, forever numb,
To the deepest fathoms I descend, never to return.
The water, my fire extinguishing, no longer shall I burn.
Desire, zest, and zeal, have forever, my soul vacated.
At the depths I shall remain, my struggle has been abated.
