Schwarzer Schmetterling [English translation]

Everything’s black, I can’t see

I can’t understand the world anymore

The moon tears out my eyes

I am trapped and I can’t get out

Do you know who I am?

I float through the dark night

And a feeling is awoken in me

A feeling that no one knows

Eyes empty, my brain is burning up

And I dance upon my grave

And I dance upon my grave

A white cloth turns red

A new life or death?

My feeling that no one knows

Eyes empty and my heart is burning up

And I dance upon my grave

And I dance upon my grave

Sins of the body, never free

The torture of the path, never over

Because after death my life begins

It1 will give me new powers

You don’t see me yet I am there

As a nightmare I avenge myself year after year

Black roses burn on the wreath

I dance and dance and dance and dance the dance of death

When the storm sweeps you away with icy claws and becomes one with your sorrow

When no light guides you anymore

When nothing affects you anymore and you’ve cried your last tears

When you scream because you know what it means

When you go and you beg for someone to reach you

Because you are still all alone

When the shadows, as ever, never leave

Then I’ll stand like an angel behind you

And I’ll hold my hand over you

When the pressure is too great and you lose everything

And I’ll spread my arms for you

When you no longer feel warmth nor love

And I’ll be there when you are completely bare

In the sun your soul still burns although you freeze

I am endless like a ring

I am the black butterfly

And my feeling that no one knows

Briefly glows

And burns out

1. i.e. death
