No greater sentence exists than life,
No greater sentence.
What crime, I do not know,
No greater sentence exists than life.
Divided, splintered, I have become,
Divided, a shattered form.
Divided, and what remains to me?
Nothing remains to me,
No greater sentence exists than life.
Truth diminished or inflated, truth deserts,
Truth diminished or inflated, truth deserts.
Truth diminished or inflated, truth deserts,
Falsehood knows no limit,
Falsehood knows no limit,
No greater sentence exists than life.
Embed it in silver, or in gold enshrine,
Embed it in silver, or in gold enshrine,
Embed it in silver, or in gold enshrine,
The mirror, it does not lie,
The mirror, it does not lie,
No greater sentence exists than life,
What crime, I do not know,
No greater sentence exists than life.
