Partie de cartes [English translation]

Like an unfinished card party

That resembled you

A hand never complete dealt

Without much success

I was afraid to die

I begged

How one had to suffer

I whispered

Remnants of monotonous chanted prayers

We could hear

I have nothing more for you I have deserted

I left you

I did not want anymore

To continue

I could not look at all

That scorched earth

I was afraid to die

I was drowning

I did not want to follow you

I was bored

But without any mercy

You laughed

At what I had dreamed

Why must one always kneel

Accountable to the past

I was afraid to die

I imagined

Strange castle strongholds

That I destroyed

Like a game of cards

Unfinished

A hand never complete

That resembled you

I was afraid to die

Yes, I was afraid to die
