Marry me
You see him creeping around the church
For a year he's been alone
Sorrow took all his senses away
Every night he sleeps beside her grave
There by the bells there is a stone
I'm the only one who can read it
And on the fence the red cock
Who once had been in your heart
Fear driven on this fence
I go digging every night
To see what remained
From the face that smiled for me
There by the bells I'm spending the night
There among snails a lonely animal
During the day I run after the night
You escape me for the second time
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
I'm digging deep with my hands
To find what I missed so much
And the moon in its most beautiful dress
I've kissed your cold lips
I embrace you tenderly
But your skin tears like paper
And parts are falling off of you
You escape me for the second time
There by the bells I'm spending the night
There among snails a lonely animal
During the day I run after the night
You escape me for the second time
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
So I take what remained of you
the night is cold and we are naked
To curse the cock greets the morning
I've hacked off his head
