for @henantier. I have a very gruesome audio now with me slaughtering the song. Therefore - singable. I tried to match the words and stressing on syllables to the original song and I’m very happy it works. At some parts you have to improvise a bit with pauses and speed but... all in all? Done.
I'm never answering the door. They're knocking everyday at four.
I never call a carriage, I'm walking all the way to you
The walls are thin and transmit sound and concealed spies are at the market, They are all wearing the same ring and they all know where I reside.
We meet up near the waste, to this hour nobody's here ,
here we can talk undisturbed and without (unwanted) audience.
They usually come at night to get the people.
and afterwards another house is left vacant.
A few people still spout perseverance slogans,
but nobody listens to them anymore.
There are guardsmen everywhere,
everything's monitored all day long.
The borders are closed, for many years now,
all you've left is inner emigation.
I’ve known you years, since we were kids,
And I know I can trust you, too.
We have been planning to get out of here together for a year.
You managed to get us weapons,
Now we only need a ship.
You say you can’t take anymore.
and you’re hopeful that we’ll make it.
We say goodbye, I once again can look deep into your eyes
I think about you all way home,
I don’t think I’ll get much sleep.
They usually come at night to get the people.
and afterwards another house is left vacant.
A few people still spout perseverance slogans,
but nobody listens to them anymore.

Yet it happened again this very night,
In the city, another building burned to the ground.
And the temple says:
“There is no danger to the public”
and yet somehow everyone knows about it.
I went to you again today, the streets - they were completely empty.
Your name, it wasn’t at the door, instead someone stood waiting there.
He gave me a letter from you in which you wrote that you are sorry.
And besides, you wish me luck and thank me for the nice time.
I know you had to betray me,
but that’s of no use to you now.
You didn’t know I’ve been working for the temple for many years.
And we usually come at night to get the people.
And afterwards another house is left vacant.
A few people still spout perseverance slogans,
but nobody listens to them anymore.
There are guardsmen everywhere,
everything's monitored all day long.
The borders are closed, for many years now,
Tomorrow I will visit your execution.
