In An Hour Darkly |
In einer dunklen Stunde, ach, |
Alle Stunden sind dunkel hier. |
Aus einem Becher von zartestem Flieder |
Trinken wir Tee — allein mit mir. |
«My name is BROKEN CHALICE and leaden |
I am filled all the way up to the brim; |
Filled with sadness, and with misery, |
And the most terrible of things. |
Very soon I might overflow I fear, |
As I am filled with so much anger… |
And far too many tears». |
These words come from the depth of my discontent, |
To testify to you of the displeasure |
That I harbour against the world — and therefore myself. |
Hush, here lies truth, sweet child, in all its obvious simplicity. |
A long time ago it seems |
The boy has come to an agreement with himself, |
To remain in this wretched life for as long as It hasn’t reached the point of becoming totally… unbearable. |
Yes, he was prepared to tolerate |
The bleakness of all things, of darkness, |
Even nothingness itself, |
All of this perhaps only to prove |
That life really isn’t worth an effort, |
That an early VOLUNTARY DEATH is absolutely ALWAYS justified. |
Yes, I DO confess. |
I have a secret wish: |
I often dream of dying, |
To dissolve completely, |
To simply vanish, so that nothing, |
Not a single grain, would ever remain of me. |
No spark, no energy, no further existence for me, |
But most of all: NO REBIRTH!!! |
Alas, if I had this chance, this possibility, |
How free from worries could I be, |
If I only had this ONE guarantee… |
That there would be NO MORE tomorrows lying in wait for me… |
