Exaltation - Neaera

See this my waning flame

Thaw to a world of ice

Light it in the faintest of moments

I bestow upon you

This token of affectionn

For I am engulfed by the end

I must be ashes

They strike their violins darker

As the final blackness nears

I entrust these words to you

My hope will bleed into these lines

To form a silent song

To linger through the ages

To form a silent song

To linger through the ages

To be sung by the living

To preserve, to praise, to mend

The fragments of dignity

Faced with the deep of deeps

My spirits shines undaunted

Spielt süßer den Tod, streicht dunkler die Geigen

Wir schaufeln ein Grab in den Wolken

Da liegt man nicht eng

Play death more sweetly

Scrape darker your strings

We shovel a grave in the air

There you won’t lie too cramped

I entrust these words to you

My hope will bleed into these lines

To form a silent song

To linger through the ages
