Koma [English translation]

Too early - too deep - too young - too much

Too soon - too fast - too late enough

Too much - too early - too late enough

Valleys without mountains & mountains without summits

Wings without angels - Crying without laughing

A heart without love - A life without death

I forget none of those words

From the coma of my soul

There is no doorway into the light

No fresh air

To caress my spirit

Veins - Branching out from my body

In entwining embrace

Constricting every movement

I rise into the air

And lose myself in the sky

But the blue is rent apart - The grey breaks through

Shadows fall on me

I wait here - I wait here

I wait here...

So that I - too - can still feel something

I look for the flame

That burns my heart

So that I - too - can still hear something

I look for silence

That calls and knows me

No matter how I writhe

How far I run - how high I fly

My soul lies in coma

Life rushes by me

I persist in my loneliness

From the coma of my soul

There is no doorway into the light

No fresh air

To caress my spirit
