A decrepit scenery lying before my eyes, Withering as the sun's slowly blackening, Day by day. Hanging on the seventh cross, Violent rays sear my skin, bloody sweat is dripping From forehead to soil. A desolate desert draining mankind And still white roses firmly bloom despite this cursed sun, A wreath comely encircling my site of martyrdom. Singular symbol of resistance to the blackened sun Whose torturous shine eating away my anima. Hope long unmasked as the sly plague (that) it is, The mind: Burst in myriad pieces, not unlike Faerie dust softly blowing away in a gentle breeze. I embrace this laughter of madness that echoes Through my weakened mind let it be my strength Beneath this heaven so bleak. I subject the mania To bring clairvoyance Where none is to be expected, so... I abandon hope, the deceiver I distrust reason, the belier I subdue passion, the beguiler My sore ideals Summon the cynic, Cultivate and harvest his wisdom and strength. Wretch My soul To defy the wretched spawn, So let the tempest come Let it all just fade away Sacrifice to cleanse a tainted sun. This path, Guided by white roses, may have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat, But at its end the world will bloom once more. Never to affect me ever again, for better and worse. And still white roses firmly bloom despite this cursed sun, A wreath comely encircling my site of martyrdom. Singular symbol of resistance to the blackened sun White roses under a black sun
