Lyrics: Hertrich/Winkler
And I seek sweet favours carved in gold
And I bare the light my breath to hold
Early seen unknown, but known too late
How came this gentle concord,
can You tell me was it fate ?
I cross the entrance, push the door
to crawling sadness hurting more
I see I hear the trembling sphere
Come and pass, alas, stay here !
And I breathed such vows love used to swear
It's too rich for use, for earth too dear
Now sadness is beloved and love we gain
I see me I see You and all I know is
hurt is lying plain
I pity silence sad,
I enjoyed the vital light

O that she knew, knew I did...
God alone in grievance lies,
I thank You for Your cries,
I leave You now, leave You now...
When I feel my insane blue
I dive into the see for You
and hope to drown by falling down
Weapons out to pierce my grief
I hide my blade alike in peace
Drop the curtain, I will leave
I don't care, I don't go,
I don't leave You when You will
I don't care, I don't go,
when You cease my love to kill
Burning ice and wondrous flaming snow
And I see more devils hell can hold
I will leave the break of day
No more passion, no more lust
and only fume of sigh will stay
