The fierce kiss of death
Is felt through mine eyes:
See what no man
Should ever have to see –
And then in death you’ll know
Comrade what I mean!
In an instant brief, a flash,
A blade comes for you –
Relentless it will plunge
Through armor, flesh and heart:
Your precious blood is spilled,
There’s nothing you can do!
The pain is white as Death,
He is your only friend –
You stood alone too long,
Your froze in the bitter cold
And now at last your fate
Is sealed by such a cruel blade!
The fierce kiss of death
Is felt through mine eyes:
See what no man
Should ever have to see –
And then in death you’ll know
Comrade what I mean!
Is this glory toll?
Is this worthy of song?
You’ll never know my friend –
You’ll only sleep in death!
