| Album | Ich Tote Mich... |
| Shivering with ... awe ... and delight: | |
| "Here is my throat", he said, | |
| As he bowed his head ... in silence ... to him. | |
| Behold his white flesh ... shining in the velvet of darkness. | |
| Take him now, and he will be yours ... - | |
| Can't you see, how he longs to be yours ... forever ... and a day. | |
| ...silently the river flows ... | |
| "Meister des Mordes, nimm meine Augen, | |
| An diesem Ort kann ich nicht sein. | |
| Strecke mich nieder, zerschlage mein Haupt, | |
| Meister des Mordes, schenke mir den Tod!" | |
| There he stood, bare and willing, | |
| As the blood ... his blood ... was streaming | |
| Down his naked body ... this naked body. | |
| Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled he was sinking to the floor. | |
| Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled he was sinking to the floor. | |
| "Cold" , he thought, "so cold the stones, | |
| But I'll be colder soon!" | |
| Still not enough ... still not enough. | |
| "This is the moment, my beautiful, beloved one, | |
| The time has come to send your farewell to the sun, | |
| To cross the threshold and leave ... all these mortal dregs behind. | |
| You shall be flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood. | |
| Flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood. | |
| Let me take what you have to give, | |
| Let me take ... and you shall receive. | |
| Feel the beat of my dead heart, | |
| Feel the beat of my heart ... and drink, as I have done ... - | |
| Drink, my beautiful, beloved one!" | |
| A new flower in the ancient bouquet, | |
| Another rose in the garden of darkness, | |
| That will never see the day ... - | |
| That will never, never see the day. | |
| "...Tränen sind Perlen, Juwelen der Sterbenden ..." |
