Die Klinge [English translation]

My wounds are bleeding out, tortured by my sorrow

Everything has an end, it’s almost time

I lay the blade softly against my pores and fade away

I cut notches in my skin

I hang myself from your longing

I lie on the floor, body consumed

Crawl down to you

Each cut is for you, each wound a heart

No scars, no pain

I kiss the blade, longing for you

And the night carries me to rest

I’m giving you my blood in the chalice of my burning time

I’m giving you my blood, going down in the waves of sorrow

I’m giving you my blood

I kiss the scars, a quick cut

Dive into the emptiness, back to you

I feel the warmth, the flood is coming,

And then it’ll be over

Each cut is for you, each wound my heart

No scars, no pain

I kiss the blade, longing for you

And close my eyes

I’m giving you my blood in the chalice of my burning time

I’m giving you my blood, going down in the waves of sorrow

I’m giving my blood and my heart to your thorny Kingdom

I’m giving you my blood and the chalice of my burning time

I’m giving you my blood

I’m giving you my blood

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I keep them closed…
