Sieh in mein verwandertes Gesicht ..
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh in mein verwandertes Gesicht ..... Tiefer beugen sich die Sterne Sieh in mein verwandertes Gesicht. Alle meine Blumenwege Führen auf dunkle Gewässer, Geschwister, die sich tödlich stritten. Greise sind die Sterne geworden .... Sieh in mein verwandertes Gesicht.
