lyrics

My soul thirsts for more than this Because we’re made for another world You’re heart has a God-shaped abyss You’re not meant to be alone May the day perish on which I was born, And the night in which it was said, A child is born May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, Nor the light shine upon it. May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it. As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months. Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it! May those curse it who curse the day, May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day; Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes. Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came forth? For now I would have lain still and quiet, I would have been asleep; I would have been at rest With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves, Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver; Why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light? There the wicked cease from troubling, There the weary are at rest. There the prisoners rest together; Why is light given to him who is in misery, Why is life given to the bitter of soul, My soul thirsts for more than this Because we’re made for another world You’re heart has a God-shaped abyss You’re not meant to be alone
