Wish You Were Here Lyrics


I'm a wanderer and I wear the mask of mystery

From a prisoner waiting for the last request

When I got the will then I got the chance

He said: certain mistakes of my fiends make the wish fulfilled

Now that I see, I can be free

I will give you all my pain

And I wish you were here

I wish you fear

I wish you well

and that you're burning there in hell instead of me

And I wish you were here

I wish you amen

I cause your all-inclusive pain

All the walls inside try to speak with me

Beautify this spider's home, help the fly to rest in peace

Then I read a plan – kind of bleeding tattoo

Out of words of a murderer like pearls of insane dew

How can I see what he told me?

I try to listen to his pain

And I wish you were here

I wish you're near me

I wish you well

and that you're turning this, my hell into a fane

And I wish you were here

Now I cut out my brain

before I'll try to understand what you mean

And I follow all the traces

to your long forgotten places

In a ghost ship down the sea, close to holy island

Waits homicide for me, like on morphine

I see all the eyeshots he had

on his long requiem to the end

Why should I see what he wrote there for me?

In his message, I hear poor victims plea

And I wish you were here

I wish you well

and that you're burning here in hell instead of me

And I wish you were here

So give me all your prayers

for the sins I have to pay

I work for I.C.P.O. and some details show me

Not the "plain type," not the "gain type" of a serial assassin

He's not motivated by hedonism

Untypical – no Gilles de Rais

No Bathory, not Jack, so I got the suspicion

he's a man with a clear sagacious mission
