Dich zu töten fiel mir schwer [English translation]

And there was barely air

And there was barely space

And there was no longing

And thats all I have left

I have to get out- I have to geet away

But still - I search for you

The life I never found

The life - my refugee

I have cursed you

To later, and much deeper

try the kiss

You light of my soul

And now about you

My ill brain

Conserved in the juices of time

I gave you the blood from my heart

Fed you with senses power

Over much I let you rule

Gave you even power above my doing

I gave you love-

My trust

My friend-

You hurt me-

But still-

It's not over yet

I still hear

Your breath

I still see

Your shaking hands

The memory beginns to live

Starts to skipe me again

And to conquer my heart in silence

My heart - you brave pain

You kept me alive

You beat me in pain

And I still can't understand it

I still see the glance in your eyes

The shaking of your body

But the killing was hard

Yes - the killing was hard

Today your name sounds like an empty book

Like a never fullfilled promise

To kill you was hard

Yes - the killing was hard

For a short time you were the light

You were my gate to the world

So you lie in your own juice now

and you die slowly

out of me
