How do I now appease,
A fate that turns away?
How do I now appease?
A broken lute I hold,
How can I now play?
How can I now play?
These gifts from destiny,
A bitter, cruel exchange,
Stumbles for my meals,
Tears my only drink,
With sorrow and with hardship,
Forever I will range,
Forever I will range,
How do I now appease?
My city lies in ruin,
My heart, a shattered thing,
My heart, a shattered thing,
My vanished springs now whisper,
Their farewell songs to me,
Their farewell songs to me,
When I implore and question,
How shall I now decree?
How do I now appease,
A fate that turns away?
How do I now appease?
