Come death, dear death
Give me the answer to all riddles
Give me key and wand
Untie the knots of the world

Why in death, my friend, and only in death?
Why do you dive into the river of forgetfulness?
Why in darkness, my friend, and only in darkness
Do you seek the friendly warmth of the light?

Let me open the closed room
Let me carve the hidden runes
Let me throw my spear
Into the malevolent chanter's cold heart

Why in death, my friend, and only in death?
Why do you dive into the river of forgetfulness?
Why in darkness, my friend, and only in darkness
Do you seek the friendly warmth of the light?

Death was here first
Forgetfulness will always win
Darkness gave birth to light
What else do you want to know?

Death, dear death! death, my death!
Forgetfulness has taken me
Darkness surrounds me forever
What else can i know?
Come death, dear death
Give me the answer to all riddles
Give me key and wand
Unlock the world's locked doors

Death was here first
Forgetfulness will always win
Darkness gave birth to light
What else do you want to know?

Death, dear death! death, my death!
Forgetfulness has taken me
Darkness surrounds me forever
What else can i know?
