So mournful is the scenery of Death So silent is the calm of her embrace So tranquil is the odour of her breath Come closer wonderer…closer to my grave
Just close your eyes and hear the soundless whispers Feel dark enchantment of this gloomy place So many finished lives, so many human histories So many different fates, engraved in monuments
Don’t walk away…don’t leave me here alone Don’t say that you are homeward bound I was like you but now I’m just the bones The bones where worms their home have found
Frail sprouts of hope break through the frozen ground Small sparks of life flame up in every seed Birds have returned…life conquers all around So spring has come for you but not for me
Stop for a moment, look around and think What do you search? Why do you roam? What for? Oneday you will be surely dead like me There’s no escape, you cannot win this war
Don’t walk away…don’t leave me here alone Don’t say that you are homeward bound I was like you but now I’m just the bones The bones where worms their home have found
And birds will fly away again oneday And you will join me in this cold ground And here you will find you home to stay Why do you tremble now? Why do you make no sound?
