| I did not choose to tread this path, | |
| A forced journey into an unknown future | |
| As our doom eclipsed this clueless state, | |
| I had to leave my world behind | |
| Their hate was so outright, | |
| It filled my heart with fright | |
| I know only too well | |
| My people chose to welcome tyranny, | |
| The slaves of terror, murder, pain | |
| Humanity lays dying once again | |
| Their hate was so outright, | |
| It filled my heart with fright | |
| I know only too well, | |
| I am an undead poet | |
| Buried in no ground | |
| I know only too well | |
| "Die Heimat hat mir Treue nicht gehalten, | |
| Sie gab sich ganz den bösen Trieben hin | |
| Doch hier wird niemand meine Verse lesen, | |
| Ist nichts, was meiner Seele Sprache spricht; | |
| Ein deutscher Dichter bin ich einst gewesen, | |
| Jetzt ist mein Leben ein Spuk wie mein Gedicht." | |
| [Max Herrmann-Neisse] | |
| Now here I am, disabled but alive | |
| Where no one calls my name | |
| Where nothing meets my soul | |
| Now here I am, but cannot build my home | |
| As no one reads my bitter words | |
| I'm yearning for the day of my return | |
| Yet nothing's there to make my dreams come true | |
| I know only too well, | |
| I am a ghost wandering this world | |
| I'm like a ghost, I know only too well | |
| I see the distant flames | |
| This outland holds no hope | |
| As no one reads my truly bitter words |
| I did not choose to tread this path, | |
| A forced journey into an unknown future | |
| As our doom eclipsed this clueless state, | |
| I had to leave my world behind | |
| Their hate was so outright, | |
| It filled my heart with fright | |
| I know only too well | |
