LILT: Stirb Nicht Vor Mir 3.0

I think I'm done. I reverted 'ere' to 'before' in his lines (bolded), because ere is just not something I'm used to hearing and it sounds wrong. Before has to be crammed a bit to fit, but if you pronounce the 'B' and 'F' on top of one another it works. I've also reverted the rhyming formula in the candlelit windows verse back to his:

The night gives birth to a child
Its only name is loneliness
It is still and very cold
I weep into the abyss

I don't know what you're called
But I know that you are real
I know that after all
Someone will love me

[He comes for me after dark
Words can't even begin
To express what's in my heart
I surrender and go with him]

[I don't know what he's called
I know that he must be real
This passion is my thrall
And to him I am sealed]

I'm waiting here
[Don't die before I do]
I'm waiting here
Don't die before me

[I don't know what you're called
I know that you are real]
Don't die
[Sometimes love is so cruel]
I'm waiting here
[This love I have to feel]
I'm waiting here

All the houses are snowed in
Candlelit windows warm with cheer
They lie in pairs within
And I
I'm waiting for you here

I'm waiting here
[Don't die before I do]
I'm waiting here
Don't die before me

[I don't know what you're called
I know that you are real]
Don't die
[This love may be my all]
I'm waiting here
[This love is all I feel]

Don't die before me
