1. I alone, oh me alone
I lived in illusion until my grave showed me reality

2. It is humiliation and honor and power
And it is my humiliation and the honor of the united

3. I alone and I will go alone
My soul does not know sadness after me

4. I alone indeed nothing avails
I alone do not know sadness alone

5. And I will remain alone even if my company
Fill my eyes and fill my hearing and mind

6. What did you create my mind for, oh Lord have mercy
I, oh Lord, you created for my heart

7. What did you create my mind for, so let my mind pass
And let the days leave fragments of my love

8. I am a scent scattered in the deserts
I am the war of hopes and despair is my war

9. I am sick and you know my cure
And it is death, my God, that is my cure
