Once Forgotten
I play for keeps
My greatness was forged in
and will remain in darkness
The moments of triumph and sacrifice
are self-made and self-evident
To wither away with my flesh
To be forgotten and released from your thoughts and hopes
is my only wish
In the end to stand alone and be selfish
That with my last breath I will be forgotten
Not rejoiced, not mourned over
To leave this world as I entered it, unknown
Your strings cut and gone
My thoughts clear unclouded
I’m finally coming home
Hello loneliness, hello eternal solitude
My greatness was forged in
and will remain in darkness
The moments of triumph and sacrifice
are self-made and self-evident
To wither away with my flesh
To be forgotten and released from your thoughts and hopes
is my only wish
In the end to stand alone and be selfish
That with my last breath I will be forgotten
Not rejoiced, not mourned over
To leave this world as I entered it, unknown
Your strings cut and gone
My thoughts clear unclouded
I’m finally coming home
Hello loneliness, hello eternal solitude
