Last night you tangled me up on the journey I had begunWith verses on my shoulders I wanted to reach youLike jagged ice from the dome of the sky you broke off and fellRight in the midst of drunken revelries to snuff out my faint light!You cut off my timid verses, what did you need that for, my friendIn the soul's cavern they wandered hopelessly of old, for you to lock them awayLanguishing among arches they sought blindly, hoarse without the slightest voiceYou made me wear a veil of dripping tears, like the dew of sadness even now!
What were you looking for in me in the late hours so unexpectedly!?The scattered chains, broken and desolate, you shook them once againYou nearly reawakened their venomous serpentine coilsTo kill the treasures hidden inside the broken shell this very moment!Ah, the muses nearly abandoned my sweet-scented skin at that moment,Amidst thousands of terrified sorrows they nearly dissolved into stagnant grief!I had nothing left but to tear down castle doors however locked they might beLike the seven padlocks of witches' tales in mythTo break them thunderously, madly, only for you!
