Schakal [English translation]

A young angel appears before the temple

Her spittle clings under her wings

Fresh blood drops from her brows

He opens his hands and calls for more

I close my eyes and lick her flood of tears

Lazy bodies lie on the steps

Victims of love scorched by the sun

Dry are also my kisses

Which I once gave with love

Spread out on a cliff

Squashed between the cliffs and stretched out

Under burning fragments of my centre

I strew my tears into the glowing fire

Her flowers wither in my hands

Her spittle clots in my mouth

I wrench my body from the flood

The angel throws her wings into the glowing fire

I divest my sins

She opens her pharynx

I lick her wound with my mouth

I have kissed her heart

Loved her flesh on the portal

Her tongue petrified at the foot of the monument

And her ashes strewn under the angels

I just want to live

I have laid on these knees

I call you with this mouth

I beseechingly hold out my hands to you

I pray in the darkness of the night

Crying, I beseeched you with all my strength

Leave her in peace

Let her sleep

Let me pray

Please, I ask you

I just want to live

I want to live
