Frenzy of Flames

Albeit the day already brings hope again,
it1 nevertheless gets frustrated2 soon
Life plays its wicked game now
already way too long with me
 
Far from the destroyed homeland,
searching for happiness3
fate finally wears4 me down,
driving me crazy in the end
 
I don't give up5
Things will go better again6
 
But the world, it's standing in flames,
nothing holds it together anymore
Sky collapses above me
Never again light nor sunshine
Endless suffering
in eternity
Is this all that is to it7
Can't I do anything anymore
 
Mad lines8 arise from the anger
when hope and all courage leaves me
 
Just what is up with me
No power within me anymore
The will to live9 dwindles away now
My soul is torn apart
Love dies, happiness fades away
No one has ever hated himself that much
My time is over
And I don't mind at all
 
Sky crashes down upon me
It's the world in the frenzy of flames
 
Just how did I come here
I was too cowardly and chose this path
that brought me nothing
but the suffering that's carrying me off
 
Bring me death
Salvation
 
I'm not granted to die
Have to exist with the guilt, agony and the pain
Even to the grim reaper my body is abhorrent
 
Oh if I were never born
I have lost myself within myself
 
Nothing drives me onwards anymore
Only the sparks of madness
illuminate my mind
I long for demise
 
But the world is standing in flames,
nothing holds it together anymore
 
Bizarre shreds and dismal blackness
now define my thoughts10
Hate's still pumping through dying veins,
eating apart all that ever mattered
