1. I sense despair from the people
So the soul and comfort are in solitude

2. Our hopes have become fruitless
As if they were the whispering of an evil spirit

3. The world and its free people
Have become for the unfree and the greedy

4. The people's gifts being offered
To every vileness and son of vileness

5. If you seek company, then leave them
To a book and a cup of wine
