No Exceptions
I wrestle my innermost soul
The fight could never arise
Ultimate struggle kills pity
I experienced the most violent resistance
Glittering phrases about freedom, beauty, dignity
Through mud of terrifying depth
Questions of destiny cry for a solution
Bear the bitter truth coolly and soberly
No fool is easer to be the most stupid
Fools can obtain no peace
Left in the lurch by the will of madness
I tried to keep myself silent
So busy with destiny
finding that destiny makes no exceptions.
