Lyrics
Totenwacht
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.
Wer ist dein mörder? sag mir seinen namen...
Blut! blut! blut! blut!
Die wahrheit ist wie ein kelch voller schmerz,
Ein feuriger dolch, so tief in mein herz.
Sterne und blut belügen mich nicht,
Es sitzen die götter hereits zu gericht.
Einsam lischt ein flackernd licht
Auf der totenwache.
Die trauer segelt auf dem nichts,
Im kalten wind der rache.
Einsam lischt ein flackernd licht,
Im kalten der rache.
Die trauer ist mir wie ein brennendes meer,
Ein schiff ohne hoffnung und wiederkehr.
Die segel zerfetzt, die welt ohne wind,
Gestrandet im nichts, zum tode bestimmt.
