Sapphire [English translation]

Just - as you are

Show yourself to me - when you burn

When you lose yourself to me

Hold on to my glance!

Just - as you are

Let us flee and slip away from the world

Let yourself breathe and pull away

Look at me - and follow me!

Just - as you are

Let us flee - Let yourself breathe

Hold on - and follow me!

Just - as I do

Flood me - waste yourself

Hold me tight - I'm following you

Just - as I do to you

Conquer me - empty yourself

Hold on - and follow me!

I trusted myself

And yet I did not believe myself

The current that surrounded me

And brought me here

Drains away deep into the ground

I find no peace

Curse my endless -

Idle, unadultered search

For the aim that much too distant

And yet to my feet appears to me

Lost, I stand in the mirror

Burned out, I recognise my

Idle, unfulfilled void

Like a wolf - as if I were searching for something

That would be worth finding

Here - I take it all

As you take me - into the day

Here we are strangers - And burned out

In the morning light - that will destroy us

Hold on to my glance!
