Oh, how welcoming is the embrace of death... |
| Weep not, my sweet child Thy tears shan't go to waste Silent death awaits thee In His arms you've no escape His smile, so wretched His heart made of stone Dare you look him in the eyes? "Oh no, I daren't say." Let his arms hold you fast Bid thy final breath farewell Oh, such a sad song The sweet melody of death! "Will I not be missed?" He awaits thy soft breath He aches for thee, don't you see? His cruel love shall set thee free "Shall I leave, shall I go? Cruel fate shakes these bones And my heart breaks so grandly Is it my only hope?" |
