Get this killer away from my body
His dagger I see on his left hand
He looks at me with his eyes burning
With this curse he calls love
And in his lips you hear poetry
That absorbs my soul as it glides
Down to his heart where I dare not go.
Get this thief away from my mind
He will steal me completely with aberration
Deluding my mind converting into his philosophy
A thief who adheres the logic of time and fate
Stealing my time and alter my fate I dare not touch
I who lived without time, not a slave of fate
Which I tried to run away across the bed and study table.
Get this lover away from my heart
He will dance with me as I feel his body brushing
Against my delicate bosoms and I feel the warmth
I dare should not feel and his heart beat I hear
Calling my name over and over as I cover my ears
Stop whispering those words of love and promises
That I swore never to listen after my heart was torn dead.
Get away from me
You killer, you thief, you lover
Cease to haunt my tender heart and wild mind
And my wanting soul will never wish for another man
Who tore my heart apart and threw them in the ocean
Of death and misery and here I pray for eternal rest
My body, my mind, my heart, let them rest now…
