Tomb - Golem

Huge and menacing you lie ahead

No path you did reveal to me

And fate drives me to your peak

Where my doom shall be concealed

(lead — Hilbert)

Darkness hides your traps

And unnumbered cliffs wait

To be my icy tombstones

Hidden, when at last I failed

(lead — Mai)

The hopeful morning far away

A misty moon betrays my yearn

Harsh frost benumbs my limbs

As weakness fills my universe

All my effort, fruitless and cursed

While the tearless heavens burst

Thus crushed to the snowy ground

And in a last vision I am drowned

My chest’s corroding, the white’s bloodstained

The rotten life-stream escapes from my flesh

And having innocence denied the pain amplifies

That the sweet taste of suffering won’t be soiled

(lead — Hilbert)

A bloodily devoured corpse I’ll be soon

Unremembered through this silent tune

A carnal manifest against salvation

Locked in a black hole of damnation
