By day I sleep, at night I weep…
O Death, come near me!
Be the one for me.
Be the one, the one, who stays.
My rivers are frozen and mischosen,
And the shadows around me sicken my heart.
O Death, come near me
And stay by my side, hear my silent, my silent cry
In sadness I'm veiled, to the cross I am nailed,
And the pain around me freezes my world,
My cold world…
In life I've failed, for years I've wailed.
Frozen in time…
Left behind…
The rapture of grief is all to find…
The rapture of grief is all
Behind the shadow of life the lost hopes are grieving.
I seek the night and hope to find love.
So I drown in the silence of life's short eternity.
The tears fill the void in my heart astray…
Embrace me now, delightful ease
Give me a world of wondrous peace
Calm the desperate scream in my heart!
O Death, come near me,
Save me
From this empty cold world
O Life, you have killed me
so spare me from this cauldron of misery
In life I cry, away I fly
Chosen to fall within these walls.
The rapture of grief is all to find
The rapture of grief is all!
Oh, shed a tear for the loss of innocence,
for the forsaken spirits who aches… in us.
Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain,
For the solitude of those, left, behind!
Behold the pain and sorrow of the world,
Dream of a place away from this nightmare.
Give us love and unity under the heart of night.
O Death, come near us, and give us life
