Leis ganz leis [English translation]

She was sitting alone on her bed in the dark room

and through the window the moon was pouring its pale light,

on her hair a red gleam was shimmering gently

and suddenly a strand1 fell onto her face.

A cool breeze2 on her skin, she was freezing from the inside,

she felt him sneaking up to her from behind,

he said, unfortunately there is no escape this time,

and gently he swept the tears out of her face.

Silently, completely silently,

as gently as the wind,

silently, completely silently

death is coming.3

Then she leaped up and wanted to flee, was as if out of her mind,

'cause he walked towards her slowly, she moved back,

but she couldn't escape her fate anymore,

lost her balance and broke her neck.

Silently, completely silently,

as gently as the wind,

silently, completely silently

death is coming.

Silently, completely silently,

as gently as the wind,

silently, completely silently

death is coming.
