A Cry of the Soul

An inner war wages within
my soul, my mind
O Prince of Peace! Save me!

Day after day
through the night!
Is there no end?

Outside an indifferent countenance
Inside
fire blazing!
lightning!
waves crashing!
sinking
down
down
down
No one sees
No one knows
O Prince of Peace! Save me!

You alone hold the key to my heart.
You who search my soul
You know me

The days are short
How long, my Prince, will the pain last?
Lest my life pass by like a breeze
here for a moment, then

gone.

An inner war wages within
my soul, my mind
O Prince of Peace! Save me!
