See the leaves wither, see the flowers die
as animals seek shelter, as birds towards south do fly
Forever my farewell is, forever will i depart
forever my soul remains black, forever remains my heart
I do not hope for remedy, i lost all hope on my way
and all i ever wished for was to find love where i stayed
And all the blood was spilled, how many tears were shed
as darkness falls upon the sky these thoughts return to my head
Autumn... i welcome you home
waiting so long, always alone
autumn... the cold of the sky
now at last to die
I do not attach importance to sunshine any more
or sparkling fountains that the youth is so fond of
i love darkness and the shadows of the night
here i can be alone with my thoughts and my emotions
I do not ask forgiveness, my sins are far too great
i walked the streets of babylon, i always turned up late
I do not claim to be guilty, guilt does not suffice
wherever i brought hell, i took away your paradise
See the leaves wither, see the flowers die
as animals seek shelter, as birds towards south do fly
Forever my farewell is, forever will i depart
forever my soul remains black, forever remains my heart
Autumn... at last you have come
never again will i see the sun
closing my eyes, for one last time
i kiss you and whisper "goodbye"
