Taufen

Lost in abyss of speech, earnestness in my face
You should die by my hand
A world unknown by men, a world beyond all suffering
Born of divine humour
I can’t help it, either, that adam ate an apple
But I’ve to pay all the same
Life was always frightful, we all cannot help it
I’m responsible all the same
Condemned to live
Cause we are guilty
The everlasting war, between human and divine
Eternity and time
Better learn to listen, have no other desire
Than to pay and to pay and to pay
Understand it all, I will learn to love
The world of pleasure and dancing
Intoxicated warmth, the sinner’s bound for hell
But I’m glad to take a kiss with me
Condemned to live
Cause we are guilty
You know where this other world lies, the world of your own soul
Leave the farce of reality behind you
Man’s heart’s contracted, by the kinds of fears
From his former, former life
An agony to witness, the fantastic extent
To which I learned to belie myself
Far deeper and stronger, more awful than all
I burned in the flame of love
The flame of love
