I do not leave in hate
I leave in self-protection
No final victory
Just a final beat
No grand last word
Just what carries me
I do not march out
I step away
With steady eyes
From the older noise
No vow today
Only measured steps
No thunder-word
Only direction
I do not leave in hate
I leave in self-protection
No war in my heart
But a steady step
No hero’s light
No battle cry
I carry what remains
And let the rest go
Too long explained
Too long endured
Too long I hoped
That it would calm
Now it no longer matters
Who once was right
Now only this remains
What must stay standing
No final blow
No final verdict
Only this track
That leads me out
I do not leave in hate
I leave in self-protection
No war in my heart
But a steady step
No hero’s light
No battle cry
I carry what remains
And let the rest go
I do not leave
With empty hands
I take my measure
Not your noise
No curse returned
No stone thrown back
Only my dignity
Still walks with me
March on, heart
But without anger
Carry what is true
Leave what still burns
Not everything saved
Not everything cleared
Just keep unharmed
What still is yours
No final victory
Just a final beat
I do not leave in hate
I leave in self-protection
No war in my heart
But a steady step
No hero’s light
No battle cry
I carry what remains
And let the rest go
No vow today
Only measured steps
No war
Only direction
I do not leave in hate
I leave in self-protection
