Die Now, Die Now!

Die now, die now, and do not fear this death, for you will come forth
 from this earth and seize the heavens.
Die now, die now, and break away from this carnal soul,
 for this carnal soul is as a chain and you are as prisoners.
Take an axe to dig through the prison; when you have broken the prison
you will all be kings and princes.
Die now, die now before the beauteous King; when you have died before
 the King, you will all be kings and renowned.
Die now, die now, and come forth from this cloud; when you come forth
from this cloud, you will all be radiant full moons.
Be silent, be silent; silence is the sign of death;
it is because of life that you are fleeing from the silent one.
