Nibelungen

Since the first of you and me, asleep
In a Nibelungen land
Titanic curses trap me in
A banishment of stay
Symbols vanish from my senses
Stem and stave the view appears
Symbols captured in a trance
Vanish from my glance
For the various defenses
I enforce a strike the alarm
For the various defenses
That choose to be here and there
And lose the direction everywhere
Since the first of you and me, asleep
In a Nibelungen land, where we cannot be
Almond trees grow along the mountain trail
From their tongues the words are spelling
The telling numb—
I cannot hear it anymore
I cannot hear it anymore
Since the first of you and me, here and there
We lose the direction everywhere
Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins—
In flames I run
In flames I run
Waiting for the sign to come
Will you spell the words for me?
Will you spell the words for me to hear?
Nibelungen, nibelungen
Nibelungen land
