Der leise Tod [English translation]

See me, feel me

I would like to take the bleeding skin

Put up with the aching physis

If that takes the inner pain

The invisibile suffering away from me

It wasn't purpose

It was the beginning of the end

The loss of mental freedom

The moment when I saw her

The moment, the beginning of the end

The moment when it happened

The moment, my skin was trembling

The moment when I saw her

Time and space merged in her

At that moment, at that same place

Here she was so close to the touch

Here she was a hand's breadth away

But as close as her body was to me

As far she was, she was away from me

In her own world

In another universe

She, who devoured my heart, she

My thoughts, my blood

My heart, my everything, everything screamed

See me, feel me, recognize me now

Here I am and give myself to you

See me, feel me, recognize me now

See me, feel me, recognize me now

Here I am and give myself to you

And then, she looked up

Our eyes crossed

And hers continued roaming

The quiet death has found me

Endlessly far away from her

A hand's breadth away from her

A hand's breadth from her skin

A hand's breadth from her

See me, see me

Feel me, feel me
