| in a jar | H |
| The jar shall be made of glass | I |
| transparent white glass | I |
| so that you can see me inside | J |
| You see my sacrifice | K |
| I renounced from being part of the earth | L |
| I renounced from being a flower | C |
| to be able to stay with you | B |
| And I am becoming dust | M |
| to live with you | B |
| Later when you also die | A |
| you'll come to my jar | H |

| your ash in my ash | N |
| until a careless bride | J |
| or an unfaithful grandson | O |
| throws us out of there | P |

| My blood is boiling | Y |
| I will live but long very long | Z |
| but with you | B |
| Death doesn't scare me either | C |
| But I find our way of funeral | A2 |
| rather unlikable | A2 |
| Until I die | A |
| I think this will get better | C |
| Is there a hope you'll get out of prison these days | B2 |
| A voice in me says | C2 |
| maybe | Q |
