On wings through the night
Which silently and gently
Creeps into your sleep
You've experienced the night
You've trembled inwardly
And felt the cold waft
auf schwingen durch die nacht
Then the day's light slowly
And inexorably sneaked
Before your sleeping face
The dream had no importance anymore
But when the sinking sun is everything
That opposes the new night
Then the same creeps on soft
Wings into your mind
You want to run, want to scream
The dark shadow overtakes you
You're only one step ahead of it
At the back of your neck the dark fist
It has no face, no name
It bathes you in blind fear
You are captured, you are lost
Until the new day is dawning
Light floods your senses
Slowly you come down
But a silent voice mocks you
Look forward to the night, it is already close
