The path of... the mists... is without mercy.
It closes in deep within the heath1
It bursts out as it leaves you paralyzed
In its gentle weep, I remain steady
Though it lies in wait as I go.
I sink as the water 'round me rises2
Unaware, I drown
I suffocate in its3gaseous forms4
By the horns of the dead, the blind receive sight.
O merciless Nebelpfade, let me come to you
O merciless Nebelpfade, separating me from thee.
I am the one who was in error.
I am in the void which was cast out from darkened thoughts.
The night is dark5
I continue,6though blinded
For the light impedes my every move.
