let me consume in my pain
and drown in my blood
as my struggles go in vain
indifferent stays the heaven

so let there be no justice
and no mercy to the innocent's cry
let this be a tyrant's world
as within myself I die

you are in my heart
like a pregnant woman carries
a child in her belly
you never part from me
you are ever growing
you have taken over me
my body, my soul
my heart, my bones
my blood, my veins
now you flow through me
I no longer know myself
I am you
I was never me
it was a deception
I was born drunk
I will die drunk
in your eternal ecstasy
of being you

there's no need to bring
the wine in goblet
for I am so much drunk
seeing those eyes
and I lost my senses
and lost my sight
all I could see is ecstasy
all I hear is ecstasy
all I could say is ecstasy
all I wear is ecstasy
and since I have worn
this love's hairshirt
I put skewers in my eyes
and put my head in dirt
yet the immense beauty
doesn't stop to overcome me
and I live in ecstasy
I breathe in ecstasy
