I'm a wanderer, and I wear the mask of mystery
From a prisoner, waiting for the last request
When I got the will, then I got the chance
He said, "Certain mistakes of my friends make the wish fulfilled."

Now that I see, I can be free
I will give you all my pain

And I wish you were here
I wish you fear, I wish you well
And that you're burning here in hell instead of me
And I wish you were here, I wish you amens
I cause you all-inclusive pain

All the walls inside try to speak with me
Beautify this spider's hole
Help the fly to rest in peace
Then I read a plan, kind of bleeding tattoo
Out of words of a murderer
"Like the pearls of insane due"

How can I see what he told me?
I try to listen to his pain

And I wish you were here
I wish you're near me, I wish you well
And that you're turning this, my hell, into a fame
And I wish you were here
Now I cut out my brain
Before I'll try to understand what you mean

And I follow all the traces... to your long forgotten places
In a ghost ship down the sea, close to holy island
Waits homicide for me...
Like on morphine, I see all the eyeshots he had
On his long requiem to the end

Why should I see what he wrote there for me?
In his message, I hear poor victims plea:
"I wish you were here
I wish you well
And that you're burning here in hell instead of me
And I wish you were here
So give me your prayers for the sins I have to pay"

I work for ICPO (Interpol)
And some details show me
Not the 'plain type,' not the 'gain type' of a serial a__assin
He's not motivated by hedonism
Untypical - no gilles de rais
No bathory, not jack, so I get the suspicion
He's a man with a clear sagacious mission!
