Fear and darkness around me,
woe - my heart becomes so heavy,
that I have to leave home and wife,
I will never forget that!
That of the war Faust devastated the country,
I'll never forget that!
Firelight in the dark night,
waiting for the day of battle.
Dull eyes under the starry sky,
look as if frozen and empty,
bear news of the power
of the world - burden of the people
black and heavy!
Far, so far, where the sun greets the morning.< br/>Far, so far, where longing lives.
Where your mouth laughs at me, I am every night,
when souls go wandering.
Heavy as lead, so cold and grey
sleep falls on my head,
takes me away in the dream to that place
where I stay in peace,
where the sun and the earth have strength
br/>allows all life to flourish.
I wake up at dawn,
the day of battle makes me shudder.
Soon the enemy's war cries will sound,
we will perish murderously.
If I look death in the eyes,
I will one day see myself there...
Far, so far, where the sun greets the morning.
Far, so far, where longing lives.
Where your mouth laughs at me, I am every night,
when souls go wandering.
