Death chant Viewless essence, thin and bare Well nigh melted into air Still with fondness hovering near The earthly form Thou once didst wear Pause upon thy pinion's flight Be thy course to left or right Be thou doomed to soar or sink Pause upon the awful brink Death chant Death chant Death chant Death chant To avenge the deed expelling Thee untimely from thy dwelling Mystic force thou shalt retain O'er the blood and o'er the brain When the form thou shalt espy That darken'd on thy closing eye When the footstep thou shalt hear That thrill'd upon thy dying ear Then strange sympathies shall wake The flesh shall thrill The nerves shall quake The wounds renew Their clotter'd flood And every drop cry blood for blood! Death chant Death chant Death chant Death chant Death chant Death chant Death chant
