My heart shall beat
For one more day
But for how much longer
I cannot say
A thousand times
I’ve been here before
Dreading the void
That unbending law
But it’s not for my life
For which I’m afraid
But for the lives of my loves
My dear wife and our babe
Oh what will you do
How will you live
The burden of death
Shall never forgive
I hope that the gods
Dare take pity on us
And give my two loves
A fate that is just
So hear me know
This world of pain
I sacrifice my life
But not in vain
