you've left this world behind without a sound
at winter's dawn where silent dramas pained
a dismal silence everywhere around
these memories were all that have remained

now i calm down inside myself
and let the notions speak to you
in inner worlds i search for wealth
to you my dear let me break through

with a kiss of ashes hast thou kissed my lips
before you disappeared into the sun
to follow you i'll go on darkest trips
until the day when once again we're one

and still the rain keeps pouring sadness down
while I seek shelter at your place of rest
out of thorns I create myself a crown
to get the gleaming aches off my chest

disburden me and nail me
at the cross that i can die
like a martyr of love
disburden me, let me forget
all the loss that i can fly
to the heavens above
