Mein zweites Herz
Lacrimosa
My Second Heart
Who do you want to deceive now?
Who are you trying to hide?
Am I not human?
Made of flesh and blood?
Am I just a dream?
The arrogance of the soul?
If I have no heart?
Then I have two
Always shattered by vanity
Tormented in reality
A dark corner of my smile
How clear my reflection seems
And how distorted I seem to myself
How superficially a mirror paints my face
And how many layers it opens up and speaks:
'When you kiss and think of murder
My second heart - be unconcerned
I cover you daily
Protect you - just as you protect me
Just always fulfill your duty
Because you are not recognized or heard!'
Too dumb that I once confessed
Too dumb that I didn't lie in silence
So late I had to realize
That you - my right heart -
Always loved the left
