Blut im Auge

What I've seen on my journey
seems too dubious to be told.
This is why I try it my way
to take you there with me
How I once saw on gloomy paths
far from here in northern's land
something which took my breath away,
which I've not have known before
Blood in the eye
On raw knees
This is how I collapsed to the ground
This is how I found her
So I decided to stay there
What I saw didn't let me go
To discover her secret
I sacrificed this night
Day after day in grey rain
I was searching for her gaze once more
Was enthralled by this charm
which I haven't imagined before
Blood in the eye
On raw knees
This is how I collapsed to the ground
This is how I found her
Left behind the city's gates
wandered up to the icy heights
Thunderstorm, thunder's whip
forced me on the ground
I gazed into the cataract
behind the scrubs, copse of birch
Where could she have vanished to?
Sleepless, unresting I am searching her
mute, murmuring she does not hear me
Over crags, mountains and heather moors
Thicket, thorns, darkness
I am searching for her, the white one, by night
searching for the glistening glow of the sky
