Pauper Ergo Sum
ein Gesang gegen den Tod
Pauper Ergo Sum
Make a poem of supplication and hope.
Pauper Ergo Sum
I place myself in the hands of beauty.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Peace lies beyond wants or needs.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Some arms yet reach to embrace.
Pauper Ergo Sum
A poor man requires only friends.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Free me from these aching bonds.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Take me to that house in the woods.
Pauper Ergo Sum
I dream of redemption among the thorns.
Pauper Ergo Sum
The stories told are not those that remain.
Pauper Ergo Sum
There is a path beyond loneliness and pain.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Let me enfold myself in your wealth.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Sing me the blues in your rich breath.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Save me from the forest of bones.
Pauper Ergo Sum
Be with me in the hour of death.
