I have watched you steadily fall.

Obā-san

Downward, downward, lies your way 

for you will never change 

it is as if the gallows itself was striding towards you through the streets 

I know you 

I know you to the soul 

Shall I help you? 

the bad man is dear to me 

evil, for which i live 

I know you, you have long been a favorite of mine! 

did you call me?

Shall I help you?

Is it bad that when I read the title, my first thought was "--Marx, to the rate of profit"
