I am the dust of eternity, a moth in an extinguished lamp
Covered with memories on a dark rotten veranda
Surrounded by a lake of bloodied lawn
Where I planted the flowers of innocent souls
That bloom in my head when the darkness comes
And when the steel of the heavy gate creaks in the distance
Quoting ominous litanies in the wind
The rustling grasses point a finger at me
Insects around the light whisper fearfully of me
The old chair is silent together with the table
And the rusty chalice looks sadly into nothingness
Only the gold on my finger glitters with a familiar sparkle
Rustling grasses, filthy lawn
Soaks with blood, moth in the lamp
Insect corpses pointing at me
Sacra doctrina, sacra
Like a lighthouse on the sea, among the boundless mists
That once showed me how not to get lost in this world
It shone with love from the abyss of dirt
Like a polar star in a clear sky
Today you can't see it, covered with a bloody veil
Now, deluding myself,
Maybe hope will bring comfort at dawn
