Let me wander in the heat of the desert.
Let my lips be parched and my flesh be burned.
May blisters mark my body, and boils disfigure my skin.
May the vultures circle over me in waiting.
It matters to me not.

Let icy waves stifle my breathing.
Let my screams be lost to the murky depths.
May my lungs fill with water,
And my body abandoned in the monstrous sea.
It matters to me not.

Smash my heart with rocks.
Bury my dreams in the earth.
Crush my hopes under mountains of worthlessness.
May despair seep into the furthest recesses of my mind.
It matters to me not.

Let my faith be smothered,
And my trust betrayed.
May my spirit be broken,
And my soul condemned to the abyss.
It matters to me not.
