Bitterkeit [English translation]

Deep in a world

where feelings are nothing

I'm imprisoned

completely blind with hate

Tears are the only witnesses

that I myself still exist

near the last step

yet something holds me here

Everywhere there is bitterness

despair and death

blood and dead flesh

become our daily bread

I see myself in the mirror

yet I do not recognize myself

so disfigured from the hustle here

a mug of a face, mine

Life in the other world is already

completely distant to me

like the moon in the evening sky

I cannot explain it to myself

You are the only thing

that helps me exist

were you not here right next to me

I would take the last step

My love for you holds me

and gives me new strength

to continue to live here

it is soon achieved
