The past heroes rest
in the dilapidated --
inn that the world is.
De helden rusten	Die Helden ruhen
in de vervallen herberg --	im verfallenen Gasthaus --
die de wereld is.	der heutigen Welt.

My tears cannot wash
away what has happened, and --
everything goes on.
Mijn tranen wassen	Die Tränen waschen
niet weg wat er gebeurd is --	nicht weg, was passiert ist, und --
en alles gaat door.	alles geht weiter.
