Strawberrymouth
I am crazy for your strawberrymouth
I screamed so loud my lungs ache
Clover leaves were our bed, for the first night
That is where I want to be, in the valleys, you star-husband
I am crazy for your strawberrymouth
I screamed so loud my lungs ache
For your white body oh, woman
Days without you a sea of tears
I gave away my best summers
Now I see the white valley of strawberries ahead
It shows the stray dog how it has been
I am crazy...
You saved your red lips for me
You did that so deeply
In Strawberry-valley, on grounds of ashes,
I am fucking dying for your strawberrymouth
I am crazy...
Sefardim
As the king left Nimrod
He was looking upwards, to heavens and stars
And saw a holy light, just above Jewtown
Since our Father Abraham was bound to be born
Terach's wife was pregnant
He asked her all day
Why, oh dear, are you so pale
She knew what a costly thing she was carrying
Abraham our father, beloved father
Her days were full after nine months
Walking through the vineyards and fields
But she gave no hint to her husband
She found a cave, in which her child was born
Ave Maria
When the maiden was all alone
An angel appeared
Gabriel, he was called
And he was heaven-sent
Gladly, he announced
You are welcome, Maria
You will give birth to a child
A son will be born
Oh, let's sing,
welcome Maria
My Child
Sleep, my child, sleep
I cry for you
Sleep, my child, sleep
I laugh for you
Wherever you are
There I will sing
Only for you
all that remains is time
blown away by winds
you are freed until the wheel
starts over again
now you are free, the storm is over
going nowhere
a last scream
now sleep well
Sleep, my child, sleep
I burn for you
Sleep my child, sleep
I dream for you
Sleep, my child, sleep
I only love for you
Until my stone is next to you
Then I will think
Only of you
All that remains...
Sagrada Trobar
From this point I am going to be the witty clown for this noble-woman
Whom god robbed of her dying flesh, took her dying corpse
To give her everlasting life
And to give us a place in his kingdom
Forever freed of death's burden
Yes, I am going to be the witty clown for this noble-woman
Kiss Me
I know, I know your name
I know, I know what you do
I can't sleep any more, I can't eat
I am obsessed by your looks
I know, I know how you feel
I know, I know when you lie
Through the key-hole I will enter
To bite your soul
My spirits are above you
You can save me, with a kiss
Kiss me
kiss me
Kiss me, only once
I know, I know how you sleep
I know, I know how you walk
You make my liquids boil
I creep on all fours, to you
I know, I know how you smell
I know, I know when you make love
Through the walls I am going to enter
To sleep inside you
My spirits are above you
You can save me, with a kiss
kiss me...
Davert-Dance
He, who joins us on our journey
Will gain for life
Let us be happy
As long as we are young.
Melancholy
Oh, age of pain and contradictions
Age of crying, of envy and struggle
Age of dying and of being damned
Age, which brings near the end
All happiness dissolves
Sadness and melancholy
Have entered their hearts
Age full of cruelty, triggered by stupidity
Age full of falseness, full of envy
Age full of pride, devoid of truth
Age of sorrow, which shortens our lives.
Nightmare
I've slaughtered my aunt
My aunt was old and weak
I stayed over
And searched her boxes
Where I found a golden pile
And papers, quite a few
I hear her heavy breathing
Feeling no sympathy
I've slaughtered her
my hands were wet with blood
I've slaughtered her
And gave away my conscience
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know
You don't do this kind of thing
Gold was hard to carry
Heavier than my aunt
I grab her by her collar, shivering
Pushed her downstairs
I despised my aunt
She was old and weak
I've slaughtered her...
...this nightmare wasn't my fault
Horse Blessing
Come out, worm, with your nine worm mates
From the marrow into the blood, from there make your way into flesh
From flesh into the skin, from the skin into the sole
Come out, worm, with your nine worm mates
From the marrow into the bones, from the bones to flesh
From the flesh into the skin, and from skin onto this arrow.
So I can shoot you off.
Nymphtime
In May's beautiful light
You can see them near the golden Rhine
Birds are singing in delight
Along with the Nymphs
Trees stand in the bright light
Seems to be spring
It's lovely to be in this place
Dulcis amor
Veris dulcis in tempore
Florenti stat sub arbore
Snow is falling from the flowers
Women move their bodies in circles
This pleasant smell
Elevates me into the sky
Nymphs show their fruit
Seems to be spring
It's lovely to be in this place
Dulcis amor
Veris...
Madre deus
He becomes a body of flesh,
He, who is your son
Mother - and he will reign the earth
Just, with equal power
As the father
And he will appear outraged to everyone
But then they will understand
How he was put into existence
Dear mother, o help us
Your children in this hour
Putting up Sails
When the moon is losing its light
The sun no longer keeps you warm
When dwarfs become huge
And the world talks about old heros
When the shadows are getting longer
When hatred is taking your breath
Words burn deep in your throat
And you know you are getting ill-minded
Then, join me on my trip
Then, come with me, to a far away place
Bring your dreams
Before this year turns gray
When the days are getting longer
Spiders build their webs
Then it's time to escape
When the thunder is getting louder
Wrong sounds become art
Weaklings become praised ones
Then there is no place for us
Then, join me
Let's put up the sails
Let's escape from this place
I don't want to live without you
I want to be your hostage
Bring them along, your dreams
Let's put up the sails
