Kurzlied der Zerstörer (Song of the Destroyer)


"To delve into the mind of madness

Is to become it."

You always said.

Well I'm eye deep in the sadness,

And all I see is red.

Maybe you we're right;

Perhaps I will succumb to that mess,

And become a terror for all the world to dread.

Nun bin ich der Tod geworden, der Zerstörer der Welten.

(Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of worlds)
