un morceau neuf
c’est trop de ciel
mais la douleur
- ces fleurs si simples
dans l’incendie
cherche ma main

ein neues werk
ist himmel überfließend
aber der schmerz
- diese so einfachen blumen
im feuer
sucht meine hand

a new piece
is too much sky
but the pain
these simple flowers
in the fire
searches for my hand
