Of Forsaken Poets Lyrics - Heaven Shall Burn

I did not choose to tread this path, 

a forced journey into an unknown future. 

As our doom eclipsed this clueless state, 

I hate to leave my world behind. 

Their hate was so outright, 

it filled my heart with fright. 

I know only too well 

My people chose to welcome tyranny, 

the slaves of terror, murder, pain 

humanity lays dying once again. 

Their hate was so outright, 

it filled my heart with fright. 

I know only too well, 

I am an undead port. 

(an undead port) 

Buried on no ground 

I know only too well, 

Die Heimat hat mir Treue nicht gehalten, 

sie gab sich ganz den bsen Trieben hin 

Doch hier wird niemand meine Verse lesen, 

ist nichts, was meiner Seele Sprache spricht; 

ein deutscher Dichter bin ich einst gewesen, 

jetzt ist mein Leben ein Spuk wie mein Gedicht. 

Now here I am, disabled but alive. 

Where no one calls my name 

Where nothing meets my soul 

Now here I am 

But cannot build my home 

As no one reads my bitter words 

I'm yearning for the day of my return 

Yet nothing's there to make my dreams come true 

I know only too well, I am a ghost wandering this world 

I'm like a ghost, I know only too well 

Now here I am, disabled but alive 

Where no one calls my name 

Where nothing meets my soul 

Now here I am 

But cannot build my home 

I see the distant flames 

This outland holds no hope 

As no one reads my truly bitter words
