To the bottom of a thawed river I look

Water bends the dimmed light

I look into myself I look into sickness

And release myself from everything

So cold the ground which I lie upon

I feel it's every move

Life contained in one moment

Thoughts flow along with water

So warm the foggy air

Far the sun hidden from my eyes

In my bloody fist I enclose the world

And release myself from everythingG

For a while I must've thought I was elsewhere

Safe from the gods' revenge

Where did we go astray

Nobody here can tell

As a shadow I walk in the land of the dead

I see everyone around me deceased

Someday I must have been born into a new world

I did not know this was how it would end

On the threshold of a brave new era

Still wondering how I ended up here

How our ending commenced

And who was responsible

I did not see a massive beast

Did not hear the trumpets of doom

Nobody destroyed the sun

Fire was sowed by man alone

Our time ended in sorrow and plague

Brothers killed by brothers

Where did we go astray

Left for all to divide the land of the dead

I am there where everythings starts and

Where the light shows no colours

An even meadow stretching everywhere

Only the sky above me growing lighter

A calm breeze is blowing beside me

I close my eyes and weep

Here I shall remain without yearning

My broken spirit I shall give to the streaming waters

I am there where everything starts anew

Eternity shows itself empty and opens up

For the deceased the land of the dead
