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"
