weltschmerz

I'm drowning in melancholy
Surrounded by stifling gloom
Slowly I fade away
I'm waiting for my imminent doom

Burning in the abyss
The abyss of despair
Our world is full of imperfection
Let me awake from this nightmare

My life is insufficient
As well as the world
Parviscient and perishable
Not even a footnote in history
I feel the emptiness in me
There's no earthly glory

Es ist alles eitel
Wohin du auch blickst
Everything will die and rot
When the time has come
Soll denn das Spiel der Zeit
Der leichte Mensch bestehen?
Als schlechte Nichtigkeit

Burning in the abyss
The abyss of despair
Our world is full of imperfection
Let me awake from this nightmare
But I can't run away from
My deep, dark depression
Weltschmerz
