"Of Grief an Pleasure"

(taken from the CD “Ära der Finsternis”, 2020)

Keep your voices quiet, I don’t wanna hear a sound
Keep in distance, ‘cause woe is all around
Misery's taking over, grief is my close friend
The pleasure of falling now will expand

On my own, alone I stand
Though I feel no fear
My soul is calm, at least
I’ll find my peace in here

Will tomorrow bring a new day of hope,
or will I be in companion with that rope?

Wash away the filth
Salvation now is near

Visions of a dark destiny make me choke
Maybe that’s the burden I myself have provoked

On my own, alone I stand
Though I feel no fear
My soul is calm, at least
I’ll find my peace in here

With each breath I take, I have to sigh
Choking on thoughts, the end is nigh

Wash away the filth
Salvation now is here

Keep your voices quiet, I don’t wanna hear a sound
Keep in distance, ‘cause woe is all around
Misery's taking over, grief is my close friend
the pleasure of falling, now will expand

My soul is calm, at least
I've found my peace, my dear

(Ron, written while standing alone, in the year 2020)
