Burnt To Ashes
You push me out to the circus ring
The crowd devours my horror
I’m looking for some sympathy in their eyes
Where humanity lived
A complacent smile is on your face
You’re almost a national hero
I still believe
This must not be the end
And I am alone among the brutal, jubilant crowd
You cast me for tearing to pieces
To them, hungry and mad
Still: You are not the first
You are not the last
Salvation is on fire
It will transform your flesh into ashes //
Listen to my last wish: close my eyes before
I don’t wanna know, don’t want to see
All I feel, all I feel before oblivion
Is eternity in the last step
The crowd is celebrating my death
Enjoying my suffering
I’m between two worlds within fire’s breath
Choking with my scream
Still: Upwards on steps
You are going to death
It’s not your fault
So quiet, isn’t it?
Forgive me now, it’s time
It’s time for the show //
I’ve not believed
That I can return
This flame forever will be in my immortal stolen soul
And I’m being burnt alive, burnt to ashes for this show
Still: No repentance, my hands in blood
It’s so late, I interrupt the life
Northern wind shrill and cold will erase my shame as if it never was
Expiation is on fire
I feel pain, so I wait, infernal fire waits //
