When the Serpent releases its tail,
When the Dragon cries its wail.
When Memory fades and Thought burns,
When Life finally turns.
When the wolf has his final howl,
When the tiger is lost on her prowl.
When Love is gone and turns into Hate,
When the Spider is resigned to her fate.
When the Rose is withered and Heart blackened,
When the Web's lines are loose and slackened.
When the Key has lost its lock,
When the Crown has lost its stock.
When Her Heart is closed in its chest,
When the Butterfly leaves my breast.
When I am naked in- and outside,
You will see, my soul has died.
