[Verse 1]
[E]Come thou, [Am]thou last one, whom I recognize,
[E]Unbearable pain throughout
[Am]this body's fabric:
As I [E]in my spirit burned, see,
[Am]I now burn in thee:
The wood that long resisted
the advancing flames
[E]Which thou kept flaring,
[Am]I now am nourishing and burn in thee.

[Verse 2]
and mild being
through thy ruthless fury
[Am]Has turned into a raging hell

[Am]pyre built for my suffering,
[E]So sure of nothing more to buy for future needs,

who there past all recognition burn?
[Am]Memories I do not seize and bring inside
[G]O life! O living! O[D] to b[E]e outside!
[Am]And I in flames. And no one
here who knows me ...
