Chill is dripping silently
I am drowning in myself
My hope has left me alone and barren
My grave - the only loving place
I hate my own loathsome smell
This stench and old-age and maledorous fear
How I hate each mortal cell that is rottingly
Existing deep inside of me
I cannot bear the sun, so I close me eyes
It is the perfect day to end this wretched life
Give me the reason to life so that I might laugh
At least I'll try in bitterness
Stop the waiting, the cruel waiting for nothing
All I want is to forget, finally
In sleep of death
I could die just like a christian
I could fade away in sleep
But I want to die for someone
For the one who waits for me
I long to be a sacrifice for the Lord
My Lord of the darkest side
Everyday is a perfect day, a perfect day for suicide!
Deliver me from the mindless crowd
When steps grow dumb behind my back
Save me from their poisoned locks
Harassing like daggers through my neck
Here, where it's like hell to exist
Only death can bring salvation
Please, release me from my chains that crucify me
To my eternal tribulation
Here, where even my own image is spitting
Where I have to hide my face
Where the distress seems so endlessly
In this god-forsaken place
In a former time, in a long forgotten place
When the masks and the faces had been identical twins.
As our sanctuaries were locked to hypocritical lies
Now befouled, they lay bare as they stalked in
So well gisguised
Suicide, sweet suicide
Deepest darkness veils my eyes
Suicide, sweet suicide
Jet-black darkness clouds my mind
Suicide, sweet suicide
Deepest darkness in my heart
Suicide, sweet suicide
My unclean soul, I know no light
