Slowly withering, always shivering
You sold it all
Condemned to oblivion
Stuck in repeat in a dying memory
Death, you wear it like a halo
Death, shines with a faint glow
Southwest of the sun
Hanging at the end of a rope, in the gardens of Babylon
Southwest of the sun
Will you be there?
Hanging at the end of a rope, in the gardens of Babylon
Frozen by the impermanence of time and space
Slowly withering, always shivering
I`m in the hell that stayed
Ready to escape
Clean the slate
And sleep in deaths embrace
Southwest of the sun
Will you be there?
Hanging at the end of a rope, in the gardens of Babylon
Southwest of the sun
Will you be there?
Hanging at the end of a rope, in the gardens of Babylon
I find myself dazed and confused
Getting by on fleeting moments of a life once lived
A life I lived
Through the looking-glass I see
I see an all-devouring agony
The lyrics of might.'s song III convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness, as the persona is broken and frozen by the emptiness of love and war, and the impermanence of time and space. The persona feels condemned to oblivion, stuck in repeat in a dying memory, and wears death like a halo, perceiving it as a faintly shining light. The despair is further emphasized by the recurring question "Will you be there?" which implies a lack of certainty and a fear of being left alone in the face of death.
The mention of the "gardens of Babylon" suggests a biblical reference to an idyllic paradise that has been lost, or a symbol of a civilization that has crumbled. The persona is hanging at the end of a rope in this symbolic place, as if suspended between life and death, between hope and despair. The yearning for escape, for a fresh start, for a sleep in death's embrace, reveals a deep-seated desire for release from suffering, even if it means giving up on life.
The closing lines "Through the looking-glass I see / I see an all-devouring agony" suggest a final realization of the futility of existence, as the persona sees through a distorted mirror that reflects an endless cycle of pain and suffering. The song III can be interpreted as a reflection on the human condition, on the transience of life, and on the inevitability of death. It offers a haunting and poignant representation of the struggle of finding meaning and purpose in a world that seems devoid of both.

Broken by the vacancy of love and war
Torn apart by the emptiness caused by both love and war
Slowly withering, always shivering
Gradually declining and trembling
You sold it all
You gave up everything
Condemned to oblivion
Doomed to be forgotten
Stuck in repeat in a dying memory
Trapped in a fading memory that keeps repeating
Death, you wear it like a halo
Death is like a crown you wear
Death, shines with a faint glow
Death has a subtle radiance
Southwest of the sun
Will you be there?
Hanging at the end of a rope, in the gardens of Babylon
A place in the unknown, will you be there when I'm on the brink of despair
Frozen by the impermanence of time and space
Paralyzed by the fact that nothing lasts forever
I'm in the hell that stayed
Ready to escape
Clean the slate
And sleep in death's embrace
I'm stuck in an unbearable situation, craving a fresh start and the peace of dying
I find myself dazed and confused
Getting by on fleeting moments of a life once lived
A life I lived
I'm disoriented, barely surviving on memories of a past life
Through the looking-glass I see
I see an all-devouring agony
I perceive an overwhelming pain through a surreal lens

Back in the day, in Poland, you could find Heroes III installed on some public computers.
