Ikh bin der man (He Who Has Known Affliction)

from A Curse by Akloleh

/

lyrics

I am the one
who has known affliction
under the rod of his wrath.
He drove me on and on
in unrelieved darkness
He brings his hand down
only upon me
again and again without end.
He has worn away my flesh
and skin.
He has shattered my bones.
All around me, he has built misery
and hardship
He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.
He has walled me in
and I cannot break out.
He has weighed me down with chains.
And when I cry and plead
he shuts out my prayers.
He has walled in my ways with hewn blocks
he has made my paths a maze.
He is a lurking bear to me,
a lion in hiding.
He has forced me off my path
and mangled me,
he has left me numb.
He has bent his bow
and made me the target of his arrows
He has shot into my body
the shafts of his quiver
I have become a laughingstock
to all people.
He has filled me with bitterness,
sated me with wormwood.
