If you had known it
When you in joy hit towards me your swords
Killed my heart with your poisonous words
My soul wept, and you were in another world
Next to me to be you avoided

If you had known it
When you were supposed to save me from pain
And the usage of my weapons i couldn't yet learn
You were supposed to be my defender
But you didn't do it

If you had known it
How harsh the memories stroke my nerves
How crazy i turned and drowned in curves
Of conflicts whenever i turned my face back
But you ignored it

If you had known it
Were you to save me from the poison i drank?
Were you to say what from this i get a rank?
Were you to hold my arms and hit me in the back?
Would you do it?

It's a wish that sparkles out of a burning torture
And to know what u would have done is a great desire
If you had felt the pain the cut me into pieces
If you felt the air that suffocated my breathes
If you had known it
