Todestrieb Lyrics

Piles of flesh buried by years
The sands of time are covering our eyes
Jaded by life. This nausea keeps going on growing
Aborted visions of tomorrow

These nights are endless
And the wind will bring us the coldness of depression

A life I cannot face
Their voices fill this dark emptiness
Desolated vastlands. The broken wings of a fallen bird
This beauty Ill find becoming a rotten body

Time here has stopped
A new dimension out of space

Last exit for paranoia - Infinite despondency
My blood is dripping down the drain
To fade into the embrace of dusk

To hear the distant sound
Of children laughters
To take Her hand and drown into utter darkness

Take me away from this suffering
A life! I cannot face
KILL ME
These nights are endless
And the wind will bring us the coldness of depression
To fade into the embrace of dusk
To take Her hand and drown into utter darkness
