[English]

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

If I will it all away

Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)

...

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know

That there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

If I will it all away

Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eyes

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me, shall I give in?

Upon my end, shall I begin?

Forsaking all I've fallen for

I rise to meet the end (I rise to meet my end)

...

Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)

Servatis a periculum

Servatis a maleficum

Servatis a periculum

Servatis a maleficum

Servatis a periculum

Servatis a maleficum

Servatis a periculum

Servatis a maleficum

Servatis a periculum

Servatis a maleficum

Servatis a periculum

...

Servatis a maleficum

...

Servatis a periculum
