Testimonium [English translation]

I'm not giving up my existence

Like a dying man in the flesh

The sorrow doesn't remain behind

A victim to whom loss now sticks

I am the witness to my mortality

The witness to my own death

Here I am and I just watch myself

Death spreads over me

I am a witness to my death1

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

As a true witness to my own death

I experience dying, here in my own body

Oh, as a true witness to my own death

Oh, I experience dying here and now in myself, ah, ah, ah

My street doesn't end there at the gate

To step through it is forbidden to the body

But my body will finally set me free, me free, me free

Trapped here inside myself

Where death can't get me

No peace, no going back

No comfort and no sorrow

No peace, no going back

No comfort and no sorrow

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

As a true witness to my own death

I experience dying, here in my own body

As a true witness to my own death

Oh, I experience dying, here in my own body

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

I am a witness to my death

1. From the German text, I'm assuming this is what is meant here, in which case it should be "Testis sum meo morti". For "It is witness to my death": "Testis est meo morti". Any suggestions welcome.
