Die Schreie Sind Verstummt

And so it happened
There is no going back
What remains is silence
And what remains is loss
Followed by pain
To the world she was
A figure of light
But only for me
She was my beating heart
In my chest

But on that day
And in that place
Pride was broken
And so was her heart

Today - I wander
Through the forests
Back to the valley
Today - I roam
Through the canyons
Aimless - restless
Today - I wander
Through the villages

Her image within me
Today - her tears burn
So I drink from her

Here I am human
And I awaken my longing with a kiss
Here I am a stranger
And I awaken my longing with a kiss

But much deeper
Deeper than the longing
There she hides
Her life from the world
Weakly trembling
Hands outstretched
Bloodstained and
Mutilated is her body

Once a light emanated from her
And she shines - and she shines

So she lies there
Yet I hear the
Cry - and she cries

Broken and beaten
Mocked by the world
Once a light emanated from her
Today she spits on herself and lies
In her blood
By the wayside in the ditch
Awaiting death
Enveloped in mud and shame
And I hear her scream
How she screams...

One last time I was in the valley
Once more in the canyon
Once more in the tomb
Where she now hides
Buries herself
And covers herself
She barely dared -
She barely dared to look at me
Hardly dared to touch me
Skin to skin
She barely dared -
She barely dared to look at me
To touch me skin to skin

Timidly I rise
Timidly she rises
And I hold the hand
That leads me to the heart

The last kiss was for me
The soul followed the heart
The cries have fallen silent!
The cries have fallen silent!
