Genius Translations
Vanta [GER] - Finsternis (English Translation)
[Translation of "Finsternis" (Darkness)]

[A-Part: Verse]
A lament - sang my heart
When the glass shattered
A lament - sang the wind
When the silver rain fell

[A-Part: Chorus]
It stopped this very moment
Repelled by the pain
My dying spirit longed for more
But my heart froze in space

[A-Part: Verse]
A lament - sang the moon
When my spirit faded
A lament - sang the sun
When my heart turned to cinder

[A-Part: Chorus]
It stopped this very moment
Repelled by the pain
My dying spirit longed for morе
But my heart froze in space
[B-Part]
I don't hеar you anymore
I'm all alone

[B-Part Variation]
Where the shadows long for the light of the moon
And even the cold yearns for the sun
Fathomless emptiness
The silence is excruciating

This is where I had hoped to find you
This is where you fled from me
Your thoughts are circling in the ether
But none leads me to you

[C-Part]
In the shadows, cold and empty
There is no awakening, being betrayed by you
Infinite darkness, far from my very peace
I cry out without a sound

[C-Part Variation]
In the shadows, cold and empty
There is no awakening and no air to breathe

[D-Part]
A breath of a hundred compressed lungs in unison
But I stopped breathing long ago
There's no air flowing through my torn self
I stopped breathing long ago
The throbbing of a hundred pulsating hearts in unison
But I stopped hoping long ago
There's no blood flowing through my torn self
I stopped hoping long ago

[D-Part Variation]
There's no light illuminating me
There's no warmth permeating me
There's no song resounding for me
There's no singing following me
There's no bond keeping me
Attached to myself
I give up on myself

There's no light illuminating me
There's no warmth permeating me
There's no song resounding for me
There's no singing following me
There's no bond keeping me
Attached to myself
I give up on myself
And I give myself to them

[D-Part 2nd Variation]
This very moment they return
Attracted by the breath
Of compressed lungs
This very moment they return
Attracted by the throbbing
Of pulsating hearts

From the shadows
From the darkness
They pull me
Into the abyss
