The glitter of snow outshines the sun
Immense whiteness dazzles my eyes
I'm staring before me and see blackness only
The
indifferent sky turns away from me
Crystallized air imbibes any sound
Inscrutable silence tears my eardrums
I'm crying but
can't hear myself
The still-born echo laughs at me
The feet sink in the deep snow
Every step takes away my
strength
All-absorbing drifts suck me so lazily
Deep like an abyss they won't notice me
Fatigue and cold lull me to
sleep
Sweet dreams and promising hallucinations
The slumber carries away me on and on
Instinct of self-preservation forgot about
me
My last memory was that I came here in sleep
And now I'm falling asleep in this unreal sleep
Cold, cold and cold again in
the great beyond
And the way from this land leads only to death
I could see this dreadful world
Only because I came here by
day
The day that's lasting a billion years
The day that's overfilled with the cold
At night this world ceases to be a
world
The night without stars and polar lights
The night that's lasting a billion years
The night that's overfilled with the
cold
Every life is dying here
Every pride is disgracing here
Every power is weakening here
More than north
Every
triumph is falling here
Northward of the north
Every glory is declining here
More than north
Every majesty is fading
here
Northward of the north
Every life is dying here
More than north
Every pride is disgracing here
Northward of the
north
Northward of the north
