Memalon |
Who is the old man, who fills |
my heart with greatest pain |
yet his name remains unheard? |
I look at you and true tears shake |
my eternal Saturnworld. |
Who is the old man, whose |
picture burned itself |
down to the bottom of my soul. |
You push me back and raise me up, |
the criteria for both I long to know. |
Who are you I worship? |
What is the |
name of the one I saw? |
Tell me how to reach you, to you I’d |
bow my head in awe. |
You speak to me but what is it I hear? |
We have never really touched… |
— such is the design of my greatest fear. |
Cruel, cruel, cruel… a veil I cannot penetrate, |
in different worlds we dwell, |
attempting to dissolve what separates. |
I force my face against this strangest |
membrane-wall and desperately I call for you |
from the darkest depths of my lonely soul. |
The mist of the dimensions |
through which to glance it seems not allowed, |
or maybe it’s just that our level is of no |
interest as it is simply too low. |
Is it true that only the mirrors’strength |
can conquer the mist and then be therefore received? |
You turn around the illusion of a voice… |
— my desire crowned by another defeat. |
If doubt walks in I am growing weak in fear… |
— one day all pictures fade. |
Lying down, looking inside |
I call my dead lover in his grave. |
My eyes have caught a glimpse of you, |
now I devour myself to embrace your peace. |
The distance grows, we drift apart. |
What is the use of eyes if they cannot see? |
Hear me in my darkness, |
please wait for me, I’ll find the way. |
I promise, I shall resist the tides, |
until I’m finally united with you again… |
