If you rise from the dead
A granite grain
Of the bottom of the earth
I shall know how to be silent
If you rise from the dead
A granite grain
I shall know how to become small
I saw taking shape an adder
I would like to resemble him
Hung on your broad pale shoulders
All that I know
Will remain secret
If you rise from the dead
A granite grain
Of the bottom of the earth
I shall know how to be silent
If you rise from the dead
A granite grain
I shall know how to become small
