Colder - Samsas Traum

And she waves me «Goody Bye»\nWhere the marshmallows fly.\nDeeper and deeper, the lilies still weep\nBelow the vast oceans, my secrets to keep.\nShe drowns in the waters of my wishing-well,\nWith fading eyes she whispered gently:\n«I'll see you in hell.»\nAnd the mermaid still cries\nAs the whales in the skies\nSpread their wings neither\nFor venus nor mars,\nThe moon, hush, hush, silently\nCovers her scars\nWith milky-white liquid,\nThe fairies are gone\nTo guide her tiptoed through the abyss:\n«What have I done?»\nOnce, now and then,\nAt least for a little while,\nI’ll taste the absinth from her oval lips,\nNot knowing I killed her again.\nOnce, now and then,\nAt least for a thousand cuts,\nI’ll drink the saltwater from her shiny breasts,\nDenying I killed her again.\nAnd the princess will die\nWith a weakening sigh.\nShe lies embedded on crystals and sand,\nShe holds my heart tightly in her tiny hand.\nThe wind’s blowing strong\nBut our patience grew older,\nPeacefully smiling she cried:\n«We have grown colder.»
