Lying in my cozy tomb
Just like in a mother's womb
Dreaming of the stars at night
Missing soothing warmth of light
Dead to all my mortal friends
Nothing ever starts or ends
No more worry, fear or woe
I don't have to, I don't owe
It's just me and endless void -
And I fear I'll get annoyed

Love and peace and harmony
Damn those virtues - damn all three!
Always easy? That's the worst!
For eternity I'm cursed
With the blessings that I sought -
Now I'd favour being fraught!

I, the earth, have to unwind
When stories told and stars aligned
And I errupt from time to time
Just keep in mind: I am sublime
And then the fire of thousand hearts
Bursts, where the tectonic parts
And I'll rain down from a cloud
Things I never said out loud

Then, I'll settle down once more
Leave you shaken to the core
