Agonie [English translation]

Went gently and lonely along my path,

Awaited the sunset

but as the night awoke fear came

that I can no longer see the sunrise

Eyes open, but no light

reaches the inside of my soul

and a fog obscures the view

coming into or leaving life

Time curdles, plunges slowly but tenaciously

into the fog of life

that fans the end and the beginning,

that seems eternally endless.

Images fly by me

Webs touching nothing

Look back, think nothing of it

Everything empty, nothing sentient

I hear the wind, understand

what it says in a whisper

As it softly flies over me

and banishes my fear

Now I lie alone on the waiting bench,

Await the last train to Neverland

Don't worry any more; it's too late for that

I can already feel the gust of air that precedes the train

Soft laughing without sound

The quiet almost a comfort

I am caught in a happiness

from which no one can free me

Agony
