Extinguish my eyes lyrics
by Rainer Maria Rilke
(poem by R. M. Rilke)
Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you
And without feet I can make my way to you
Without a mouth I can swear your name
Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
With my heart as with a hand
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat
And if you consume my brain with fire
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood
