| Thoughts are spinning their inescapable threads |
| transforming us cruelly into marionettes. |
| Everything I feel is pain |
| and the Devil holds us in his hands. |
| Buried desperately in my chest |
| a rose for myself and a rose for the dead. |
| A serenade of tears, lifelessly |
| we feel the beat, though no orchestra is there to be seen… |
| I am you, I am you — you are me, |
| what I am, what are you — who are we? |
| What is truth and what is lie, |
| who are you and what am I? |
| In a cradle of mercy we are sleeping |
| the half-sleep of oblivion. |
| No holy water could wash away our faults |
| nor do benediction purify our unclean souls. |
| The gates remain locked |
| for the wingless children of wrath, |
| so long ago splintered and trodden down |
| us children of glass… |
| Please, my Lord, extinguish the light, |
| the illumination hurts my eyes. |
| My choice was wrong, so wrong: |
| truly everything is pain… |
| We are crying with wolves |
| like stone we are sleeping with the dead; |
| soon we’ll be gone and you’re left |
| the instrument… |
