Who will light your path

Through the night? 

When you travel the marshes 

Toward which light

 Will your turn your eyes? 

When you hang in the void,

 To whom will you call?

 When you have no pillow, 

where will you 

Lay your head?

 Who will light

 Your path 

Through the night?

Toward what light 

Will you turn?

 The night is full of sounds, 

But can you recognize 

The right one? 

The night is full of lights, 

But which light 

Is the light of your eyes?

 And who casts the hook 

For night waters 

Into your mouth?

 Who follows you close

 As you walk

 Along your way?


Who will light

Your path

Through the night?

Toward what light

Will you turn? 

Which teeth, white and rabid 

From loneliness and hunger 

Sink into your flesh? 

 Who will cut the ties? 

Oh, what a sharp 

Invisible knife?


Who will light 

Your path

 Through the night? 

Toward what light 

Will you turn? 


 Who will wait for you 

At the crossroads?

 At midnight 

Toward what light 

Will you turn?
