So I Asked The Gatekeeper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love in the guise of empty purity
Writhing in their graves
Grief has set the stage
Love in the guise of empty purity
This is the end of the hunt
The jackal’s on his way
Don’t return his gaze
These are the final days
Grief has set the stage
Fight back, fight back
No more time for this
Don’t look, don’t look
These are final days
Fight back, fight back
Writhing in their graves
I am sick of this
Empty purity
No more time for this
Don’t keep silent! We are writhing in our misgivings
Grief has set the stage. Our every breath is vain
Don’t keep silent, Oh God, don’t keep silent!
Because if you keep silent, I have no reason left to speak
