lyrics

"But soon I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these
burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. The light of that conflagration will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds. My spirit will sleep in peace; or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell."

When I am laid
Am laid in Earth
[May] my wrongs Create
No trouble
No trouble in thy Breast

When I am laid
Am laid in Earth
[May] my wrongs Create
No trouble
No trouble in thy Breast

Remember me, remember me
But ah! forget my Fate
Remember me
But ah! forget my Fate

Remember me, remember me
But ah! forget my Fate
Remember me
But ah! forget my Fate

Ephemeral Würzburg, Germany

Whatever passes away gives rise to the new.
Sounds emerge and instantly fade away.
Every passing moment is distinct and ephemeral.
