Ich lösche dein Licht [English translation]

Whatever I do from now on,

It can and will only end badly

This knowledge won’t let me rest

I cannot avert the outcome

I wanted it, even when it was never easy

I was spared no burden

You remain forever unreachable

The realization hits me hard

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!1

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

Even if my world falls into shadows afterward

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!

Even if afterward nothing illuminates our dark path

Oh, it will devour my world!

I must decide against myself

For if I continue to bring sacrifices,

It means shooting myself in the foot

Today I silence it

Because it must have an end

I see the cold water rising

Out of the overbuilt river

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

Even if my world falls into shadows afterward

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!

Even if afterward nothing illuminates our dark path

You were not created for me

It is a fatal and terrible shame

I already see deep fissures gaping

In your divine facade

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

Even if my world falls into shadows afterward

I’m extinguishing the light of your heart

I’m extinguishing your light, heart!

Even if afterward nothing illuminates our dark path

1. Heart is a term of German endearment like 'love' or 'dear'. So the punctuation between this line and the next alters the meaning
