LILT: Ohne Dich 1.0

This is one of my favourites. It has to be one of the best love songs I've ever heard, both lyrically and musically. It's stunning:

I stand alone amongst the firs
This place is where I last saw her
But the land wears night's darkened hood
And all the paths fade away for good
Here only empty, dark trees soar
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more

Without you all hope has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I count the time I'm without you
With you time stands so still
But nothing's true

Under branches down in the drains
It's gone silent aside from the rain
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more

Without you all hope has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I count the time I'm without you
With you time stands so still
But nothing's true without you

I'm sure I'll annoy a few people with this one, as I'm betting people who don't generally like Rammstein will love this track, and Rammstein fans will be fairly obsessive about it. If I annoy you that's your problem. Don't read my work.
