Death

Tell me, whereto did you go away,
Tell me, is there night or day,
   Tell me, what do you see,
   Did you find eternity?
      Will we meet there once again?

Tell me, who did take you away,
Tell me, is it an easy way,
   Tell me, did you go with pleasure?
   Tell me, did you find an answer?
      Will we meet there once again?

Tell me, why did you go away,
Tell me, did you leave behind the pain,
   Did you leave behind the weight of the cross?
   Are there the laws of time still in force?
      Will we meet there once again?.....

         You just went away,
         All those memories will fade -
      And just a gap seems to remain,
      Senselessness - who can explain,
      But there must be a reason, there must be a plan,
      Give me a sign to understand.
