XI: For I Am the Fire - This Gift Is A Curse

Fire / Oh set fire to these fields

For Iam the carrier of the torch — The lurid scar

Safe and distant I stray from the path

As fires hides in the smoke / I can’t tell day from night (IIII) I crawl

through the ashes with the key in my hand Over the threshold / I reach out and

touch His crown

I long for your void and I envy the silence of Your unforgiving embrace The

greatness of nothing / the greatness of Your abyss / So I stray from the path —

right into Your arms

Take this vain sacrifice / Open the doorways Let me adore you through the

everlasting night… After the 11th hour / I give into You And after all;

we live in a dream After all;

you´re the only escape And after the 11th hour /

I give into You
