The battle's over, now it's up to them
To choose the prisoners already chosen fate
To watch the widows crying, it's too late
To raise the banners high in violent flame
A humble killer sings the song of knife
In darkness where my guardian directs
In wither woods, in marshes full of rats
I dwell forever 'till the end of life
And water like stone
And always keeps silence
In grief and delight
I drink her wisdom again
And I'm all alone
Before telling something
She kissed me goodnight
To hide my secrets and pain
To catch the last so teasing grin of sun
To fall in silent pastures' carpet then
Impossible for me, I'm dead again
And all these pleasures suddenly begun
And vultures slowly dancing in the air
It's not the end, no matter how it seems
The only vision haunts me in my dreams
The bleeding horseman on his way to nowhere...
And water like stone
And always keeps silence
In grief and delight
I drink her wisdom again
And I'm all alone
Before telling something
She kissed me goodnight
To hide my secrets and pain
