The Plea Of Someone Else
Don’t cut my fingers, don’t burn myeyes
Don’t let this howl cleave my ears
Don’t letme breathe the smothering smoke
Don’treshape the heart that bears
Don’t askme why, don’t chain my wish
Don’t letme cry but dry my tears
Don’t put the poison into my brain
Teach me to descray smile from leers
The soul withouta body
The body withoutsoul
No eyes to cry mytears
No ears to hearmy howl
No more power tostand up
No more will togrow
I’m pressed down to the ground
I’m sentenced to crawl
Desire to have anangel
Forced to talkwith devil
About the battlesinside of me...
About thecruelty, which I feel...
To see the lifein the eyes of truth
For thatI loudly please, until...
This time willpass me by...
I please...andI always will
Instead of mercy- crashing unrest
Instead of life -just beaten joy
Instead of flying- falling with disgrace
Instead of hope -a world to destroy
Instead of bluesky a big cloud above
Under the cloud araven flying
He is the onlylife I see
But this lifemeans just dying
Too scared ofthat raven above
Too blind to seewhite angels
Is it you who’s denying me now?
Or insteadof you someone else? ...
