FER MIHI MORTEM

For every step I take
Everything I left behind
Reprimand me, o father

My life is yours and yours is mine
Inside my heart, I know what I must do
Hell is us if I fail you now
Inside my mind, you're there, it's you

May the Gods let you rest
O'er empty shores and long goodbyes
Replacing you now, o father
There is only but one thing left to do
End the night in which you went
Meeting you in Hell, fer mihi mortem
