lyrics

Myrta
Myrta.
What did you grasp of this world, with your clenched and tiny fists?
The hands that touched you?
Some peasant cloth?
-and then the fog-
-and then the void?
Myrta, What did you mean to this world?
The hope and despair of a new mouth to feed?
The tears of your mother, (of pain and relief?)
A name in a book-
Misspelled and forgotten, (a stamp and a box, not even a grave)
This sadness
My sadness
Sure belongs to you
These children
Our children
Shall remember you
We're helpless
We're voiceless
But found a way to be
We're weak and
We're orphaned
But our memories are ours
to give
Myrta,
How I understand you
All this numbness and then to die
24 Hours - A day - A life
Oh Myrta, - What did you look like?
Oh Myrta, - What did you look like?
Oh Myrta - Did you look like me?
This sadness
My sadness
Sure belongs to you
These children
Our children
Shall remember you
We're helpless
We're voiceless
But found a way to be
We're weak and
We're orphaned
But our memories are ours to give
Our memories are ours to give
Myrta - Did you look like me?
