Amorphis - Elegy : Better Unborn
 

Amorphis



Elegy



Better Unborn





Better it would be for me



And better it would have been



Had I not been born, not grown



Not been brought into the world



Not had to come to this earth



Not been suckled for the world







If I'd died a three-night-old



Been lost in my swaddling hand



I'd have needed but a span of doth



A span more of wood,



But a cubit of goof earth



Two words from the priest



Three verses from the cantor



One clang from the bell
