Someone left the fires burning
And they burn deep into the night
Flame fingers which grip deadwood
Blowed on sheaves of fire
Someone moulded the hot steel *
Did not think about it for long
Columns of fire rise flickering
Blood red up to universe
And like glas the sky bursts
Stars fall everywhere
The moon is red from star’s blood
And in me there’s fever blaze (I don’t think that a single term for Fieberglut exists – Fieber is fever and Glut is blaze)
The whole firmament glows
This happen’s cause my soul burns
Someone has set the sky on fire
At the same time turned night into day
I went blind from this brightness
The light kindled me
When I am burned out
I will burn in this night
But from blaze and white ash
So it’s destined for me
I will be reborn today
Being revived this night
