Held high to bring the sun, that burns in the sky That burns in his eyes, and pierces a hole Like a negative sun, soleil noir Le soleil noir, all the time That you have to burn in order to shine
Smear me with — with blood, love-blood Till the sun rises red Till, till the sun rises higher, and higher Becomes a baptism, a baptism of fire And I'm caught between bright teeth, bright, bright teeth of morning I am dog I tell myself, I am dog, I have no name I am hungry I am hungry and I want to eat I want to eat the hand that feeds me The hand that feeds me And I know these things I know the stupid should struggle The stupid should struggle And, and with us they will And, and for us, for us they will And, and they will be gored to death Gored to death on the horns of plenty And, and smear me with blood I am dog Smear me with blood, blood Until the, till the sun rises red Till the sunrise is known all the time You have to burn You have to burn in order to shine In order, in order to shine
