I said, "De la paix du ciel,
je suis venu pour la guerre."
Lamb, lioness, God's own girl.
Now, in autumn,
I light candles for those I pray for,
and dance on the graves of the rest.
A strong heart waits for you,
My Love,
here in my body's dust.

"De la paix du ciel, je suis venu pour la guerre." = "From the peace of Heaven, I have come for the war."
