[Verse 1]
The echo of the memories silences the hour
Bound to the chains of heavy-mindedness, I fall
No longer will I be bolted to the anchor of melancholy
But finally, get the longing extinguished - To leave
[Verse 2]
Did I drink too much from the cup of the Hope of Life?
Did I take the vanity of joy for given?
For my struggle against the pain of emptiness - This intoxication of the fear of Death
The only thing that's left - That is mine
[Chorus]
Still, I know in my solitude
That I have no one to thank but myself
Therefore I am calm when
The rope tightens around my neck
Still, I know in my solitude
That I have no one to thank but myself
Therefore I am calm when
The rope tightens around my neck
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Mute wines cannot give one comfort
Privates in the grave choir's assembly will never understand
The land of perdition
I singlehandedly created
[Verse 5]
The intense pull towards the portals of Death
A wandering study in tear-choked messe-noir
Mastered since the dawn of time
But something I never let go of - Was the grief
[Chorus]
Still, I know in my solitude
That I have no one to thank but myself
Therefore I am calm when
The rope tightens around my neck
[Instrumental Outro]
