Suffocating sorrow

Rooted in a broken past

The man carries a burden

And pain under the mask

Seeking oblivion in a well of misery

Inflaming wounds eternally

He accelerates towards death

Overshadowed by the ghost of his past

On the edge of sanity

Contemplating life itself

Driven mad with hopeless yearning

Perplexed in a world I detest

Bleak yet beautiful

Oh his sins have become wounds

Can he heal without the help

Of another or is he alone

Disappear into obscurity

Slowly losing my humanity

I have been my own worst enemy

Inflame my internal injury

Under cold moonlight

Passing ruins and graves

Death glows like the only light

Outside a blackened cave

I long to know those ancient lives

Those who suffered the same

In the endless struggle to survive

Tombstones remember their names

Oh geliebte Dunkelheit

Wie kühl du die Sterne umarmst

So leuchte mir die Wahrheit

Und erwürge meine Angst
