The hallways narrow stretch along Amany doors, heavy and locked A suitable prison, to which I belong With any passage but windows blocked And I am imprisoned within I´m not alone Let alone with my thoughts And the strangers away from my reach But the strangest who attends me Is the only one I can speak During day I may wander Through the halls of the wing From one locked door to another Until sunset begins Then I may granted visits Of my warden and host With conversations and matters Concerning me most For I can´t but think and ponder About this evil true intends That means naught but death to me My love and friends God help me, For I have been used My own hands have set free The devil to the world And the truth will die with me

The Guest
It's torture, The way that he stalks her, Mina, Mina, Like some childish chant, He calls her name, We chant too, Master, master, notice us, Love us, want us, worship us, Because we worship you, And I have seen seasons pass in an unblinking eye, How can I sleep when you are always awake? Entertaining guests in the parlour room, My pallor turns deathly when you speak her name, Your next engagement is the chill in my tomb, The fear I feel in her heartbeats makes my teeth hurt, They turn into fangs with the bitterness I spit, When you take her throat, I see red, But I cannot admit these things to my absent soul, By you I am vilified, Like Christ I'd rather be crucified, My wedding dress you nullified, Let light stream in and burn me alive, Burn me dead, After aeons since the first I thought this bond was unbreakable, 1, 2, 3, women you have guided into your hell, Still your thirst is unslakeable, - But what did I expect? Denn die Todten reiten schnell. (Translation: Because the dead travel fast.)
