Seele In Not

Now hold the torch
To my face
A bird glides over the water
But it doesn't see me
My ship has long sunk
I am drowning
I know so many cries for help
But no ship in sight

Only lost hours
Only lost days
Lost when we die
Lost to what?
But I live
I still live
I live
As a lie

And love
An illusion
You dance in the light of time
You dance in vanity
An empty bottle
And I'm dying of thirst
No candle has fire anymore
But my heart burns

I hear the cry of a baby
Lie in the first breath
Ashes to ashes - Dust to dust
Forgive the sin
Blind with anger - Blind with pain
Deaf from love - Mute with fear
I can't hold on anymore
Lose my mind

I don't know your voice-
Can't understand you
Don't even know what you look like-
Never seen you
Can't even speak to you
Not even that one sentence
I love you!

I curse the memory and send it far away
It lies in my grave and warms the coffin for me
Painted pictures only flatter
Because who paints what is so ugly?
