Fiat Lux [English translation]

Death snuck up to me on quiet feet

Secretly entered through the back door

I could neither hear nor see him

And my lips never felt his kiss

His knife glid through my bone and marrow

Birthed invisible fire there

In which I have to burn full of pain

Fiat Lux

You demon under ur yoke

Promised us

A thousand delights

Fiat Lux

The spirit who crawled out of the bottle

You shine like

A thousand suns

In me smolders the demon's grim flame

Consumed me, yet couldn't be seen

The embers fed only death and the cold of the grave

Sneakily stole my dignity and hair

So I died, without understanding, only left behind

Irradiated shell of the man

Who I once was

Fiat Lux

You demon under ur yoke

Promised us

A thousand delights

Fiat Lux

The spirit who crawled out of the bottle

You shine like

A thousand suns

Your origin lies in the smallest of all parts

When indivisible suddenly became divisible

But like Faust and the sorcerer's apprentice before

We were weak and blind to the danger

Fiat Lux

You demon under ur yoke

Promised us

A thousand delights

Fiat Lux

The spirit who crawled out of the bottle

You shine like

A thousand suns
