Ständchen (German for "Serenade") is an Arknights song acting as the leitmotif of Ebenholz, performed by the Brazilian singer Airton Santos Araujo.
Introduction
- Like thorns buried underskin they prickle, murmurs meandering through his veins.
These footfalls sounding fate in the curtain of night–are all but laments.
Ein [Ständchen], to play this movement's coda.
Lyrics[]
I spent my life suffocating,
ignoring villains living inside me.
Oh, my guilt is never-fading.
It forever lives on
under my skin,
killing me from within.
Will you stay a part of me for the rest of my life?
You tighten your grip
like shackles on both my wrists.
Will you stay a part of me for the rest of my life?
I once was a dreamer,
but then I grew up and saw the real world.
When I look in the mirror,
I can almost see you crawling
under my skin,
killing me from within.
Will you stay a part of me for the rest of my life?
I bit my tongue for years.
I choked back every tear.
I carry you all on my own
'cause you insist you only feel at home.
Under my skin,
you're killing me from within.
Will you stay a part of me for the rest of my life?
