Lyrics

Hear me, O Death, whose empire unconfined
Extends to mortal tribes of every kind
On you, the portion of our time depends
Whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends
On you, the portion of our time depends
Whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends
Your sleep perpetual bursts the vivid folds
By which the soul, attracting body holds
Common to all of every sex and age
For none escapes your all-destructive rage
Common to all of every sex and age
For none escapes your all-destructive rage
Not youth itself your clemency can gain
Strong, by you untimely slain
In you, the end of nature's works is known
In you, all judgment is absolved alone
In you, the end of nature's works is known
In you, all judgment is absolved alone
No suppliant arts your dreadful rage control
No vows revoke the purpose of your soul
O blessed power regard my ardent prayer
And human life to age abundant spare
O blessed power regard my ardent prayer
And human life to age abundant spare
Written by: Petros Tabouris, Thomas Taylor
