Imperium II |
| How can there be pleasure? |
| How can there be joy? |
| When the whole world is burning |
| What joy is there in this body |
| Seeing these discarded bones |
| Scattered here and there |
| Where they were tossed upon the ground |
| Through the same moment of the night |
| Humans first emptied in the womb |
| The journey of their life to death begins |
| Once gone there is no turning back |
| At daybreak many people are seen |
| At evening one is gone from sight |
| At evening many people can be seen |
| Next morning one is gone from sight |
| Nights are long when one can’t sleep |
| The road seems long for those exhausted |
| Life’s obliterated so soon |
| Some die when they are in the womb |
| Some on the ground where they were born |
| Some die just as they learn to crawl |
| And some just as they learn to walk |
| Some die old and some die young |
| Some in the very prime of life |
| All people pass away in term |
| Just like the fall of ripened fruit |
| As all ripe fruit always falls and rots |
| So all who are born by their deaths destroyed |
| Collection in the end dispersed |
| Whatever rises must also fall |
| All meetings end in separation |
| The final end of life is death |
| Sorrow arises from all beauty |
| From all beauty arises fear |
| When all beauty is given up |
| Neither sorrow nor fear exist |
| And the law is Imperium |
| Imperium Imperium Imperium Imperium |
