What is wanted, what is dreamed of,nPasses away into the shadows of the world.nIf I could believe enough, I would know tomorrow.nBut alas, death's tide rises and I cannot step awaynBreak through ...nnThe black shadow seduces me into death,nI am becoming tainted all over.nYet even now I live, and I can sing.nnMurdered voices, tears shed,nGoodbye ...nIf only this one wish comes true,nWarmth ...nnThere is no wind, there are no stars,nThey die like my hopes.nNow to live through this night I sing.nnI slip into darkness, fleeing the one shadow.nIf I sacrifice my dream to the devil,nI would sacrifice anything and everything beloved.nWithin this breast my indiscretion is carved
