If I die in this world Who will know something of me? I am lost, no-one knows There's no trace of my yearning If I die (but I must) In this world (carry on) Who will know (nothing worse) Something of me? (can befall) I am lost (all my fears) No-one knows (all my tears) There's no trace (tell my heart) Of my yearning (there's a hole) I wear a void Not even hope A downward slope Is all I see I wear a void (as long as breath as breath comes from my mouth) Not even hope (I may yet stand the slightest chance) A downward slope (a shaft of light is all I need) Is all I see (to cease the darkness killing me)
