[00:30.96] | Can I trust you, mortal boy? |
[00:36.53] | You say, you love me; oh, sure you do. |
[00:42.51] | But what exactly does this affirmation mean? |
[00:47.04] | I do not have the slightest notion, no idea |
[00:54.04] | Of what you understand by “LOVE” and other terms |
[00:58.22] | As worn-out such as this old song and dance, |
[01:03.28] | You call romance. |
[01:06.67] | Quite different flowers grow indeed |
[01:12.68] | In my small semantic garden…- |
[01:17.14] | So, let us see, if your good vow |
[01:22.85] | Is more than just some chemical imbalance. |
[01:30.51] | Is it worth the air you breathe, |
[01:34.68] | Or will it be just another waste of time with you? |
[01:42.04] | What I call “love, precious and true”, |
[01:47.98] | Would you refer to this as sin, |
[01:51.67] | or crime and all that silly crap? |
[01:59.80] | Now, let me put you to the test… |
[02:05.77] | How often have I heard these words: |
[02:08.90] | “I love you so much, dearest dear, that I would die for you, |
[02:15.28] | Right now, right here!” |
[02:17.68] | Sure, doing this they’re sitting pretty, but I say: |
[02:21.62] | PISS ON IT, |
[02:24.32] | Because this way is far too easy! |
[02:29.78] | But do you also have the strength |
[02:32.81] | To be there for me till the end? |
[02:35.75] | Would you have courage, live for me, |
[02:38.71] | Respect my wishes, my decree? |
[02:41.77] | Would you defend me against the world, |
[02:44.78] | Fight the doctors playing God, |
[02:47.69] | Slap your priests, if they came near, |
[02:50.71] | Or anyone who interferes?!? |
[03:17.18] | |
[03:43.06] | Is the version of your Love as true, |
[03:46.36] | That you would use all means within your power |
[03:49.97] | Just to meet the urgent plea, that solemn, |
[03:53.72] | Final wish for dying of a helpless her or him, |
[03:58.99] | Who lies in pain, who’s suffering, |
[04:01.76] | Now only begging for the end…- |
[04:05.18] | Is your “love” that of a TRUE FRIEND ?! |
[04:18.48] | If I lay crying in my bed, waiting, |
[04:21.47] | No longing for the end, |
[04:23.58] | If I decide my time has come, |
[04:26.42] | Would you then be that trustful one |
[04:28.92] | To guard this chamber, break this shell, |
[04:31.99] | And free me from this living hell, |
[04:34.78] | By making sure my death is swift. |
[04:37.49] | Would you grant me that SACRED GIFT ?!? |
[04:41.36] | (Blessed is the flower |
[04:42.34] | That grows in the night |
[04:43.16] | Blessed the poison |
[04:43.88] | That helps you to die. |
[04:45.85] | Blessed the guidance |
[04:47.03] | Of the loyal friend, |
[04:48.62] | Blessed is he, |
[04:49.90] | Who brings the end.) |
[04:56.95] | Now that you’ve heard it, let me know: |
[05:04.55] | Are you then willing to let go ?!? |
[05:11.25] | Say: would you do all this for me, |
[05:17.22] | Would you respect my wishes, my dignity? |
[05:22.84] | Because that’s what LOVE means to me !!! |
[00:30.96] | Can I trust you, mortal boy? |
[00:36.53] | You say, you love me oh, sure you do. |
