Seele In Not [English translation]

Now hold the torch near my face

A bird flyes across the water

But it doesn't see me

My ship has sunk long ago

I'm drowning

I know so many cries for help

But there's no ship at sight

Only lost hours

Onlu lost days

Lost when you die

Lost for what?

But I'm alive

I'm still alive

I'm alive as a lie

And love

And illusion

You're dancing at the light of the time

You're dancing in vanity

An empty bottle

And I'm dying of thirst

No candle still bears fire

But my heart is burning

I hear a crying baby

Lie at the first breath

Ashes to ashes - dust to dust

Sins shall be forgiven

Bind from anger - blin! d from pain

Deaf drom love - dumb from fear

Can't hold on anymore

Lost my mind

I don't know your voice

I can't understand you

Don't even know how you look like

Have never seen you

I can't talk to you

Not even this single sentence:

I love you

I curse the memory

And send it far away

She lays down in my grave

And warms for me my coffin

Painted pictures only flatter

Because who paints what's so ugly?
