[00:13.80].........
[00:52.64]This I have learnt:
[00:57.64]World forces all of us down
[01:03.70]the fleeing years bend our backs
[01:09.46]love but smears our hearts
[01:14.69]Here I now lie still like a broken bow
[01:20.06]soul sullen and rigid
[01:23.09]with the will to die
[01:25.81]sighing after the days long since gone
[01:31.54]cursing every step on this ill-fated trail
[01:36.39]"In vain I try (to forget)
[01:47.32]In vain I try ( to forgive)
[01:59.11]Black bird from evening sky
[02:01.74]Raven from heaths of night
[02:04.81]come and take my cares
[02:06.97]carry away the grief
[02:10.38]bereave me of my new woes
[02:13.08]rend off these earthly throes
[02:16.06]fly them to deepest lakes
[02:18.45]to the starlit shores"
[02:21.81]..........
[02:23.34]This I have learnt:
[02:28.31]even the sweetest wine turns sour
[02:35.30]we work our fingers to the bone
[02:41.25]all our efforts of no avail
[02:46.52]Here we all are but troubled guests
[02:49.58]on darkling earth
[02:51.89]lost echoes that pine away
[02:55.22]into the dusk
[02:57.62]nothing more than the wind to rely on
[03:03.23]nothing more than the death
[03:06.25]to comfort us in the end
[03:08.17]"In vain I try (to forget)
[03:19.38]In vain I try ( to forgive)
[03:31.86]Black bird from evening sky
[03:34.56]Raven from heaths of night
[03:37.60]come and take my cares
[03:39.73]carry away the grief
[03:43.17]bereave me of my new woes
[03:45.91]rend off these earthly throes
[03:48.86]fly them to deepest lakes
[03:50.99]to the starlit shores"
[03:57.16]..........
[05:25.87]This I have heard:
[05:30.81]all ends in serene sleep
[05:37.26]all these sorrows are washed away
[05:43.52]as we lapse into the night
[05:52.18]..........
[05:57.37]But I know it`s a
