My heart breaks, bleeding to death Shattered awake, nothing but breath What are you now, new virgin snow? You melt in my arms as I hold you close
Light explodes in my soul, fragments the whole With distant eyes I sit and wait, closing the gate
The fire is out, warmth gone thereof My wounds soothed by the stars above Gold wine is drunk, dregs remain Bitter as wormwood, salty as pain
God’s ears are filled with silence yet the call of the drum Sounds in my chest, eternal rest, descend to hell
I’ll love him ‘til his thickened skin is torn to shreds ‘Til his last drop of blood is shorn I’ll love him ‘til his dry bones fall apart ‘Til the ghost is satiated in his heart
In my fight to be alone I peer beneath his tombstone In the crypt I behold a shadow in the air now growing cold With my heat the cold now unites Creates a mist so thick I have no sight What can penetrate sadness so true? Only You
Silence around, leaf falls to leaf Through the trees, longing now creeps Perceive yourself, perceive now God All is dust – what more do you want?
Deep in the darkness in his face I found my place What penetrates sadness so true? Only you
