Lange musst du leiden, kennend nicht was, bis plötzlich aus gehässig erbissener Frucht deines Leidens Geschmack eintritt in dir. Und da liebst du schon fast das Gekostete. Keiner redet dirs wieder aus.
After this nothingness, after this passage Through flesh and boundary. After this wandering… Abandoned landscapes Barefoot marching, Through a silence Only god sees… Through a violence And a cessation Of all sighs And all summers. A barren hearth Where the roots Twist inwards Sink-and-dissipate. Where dawn Turns backwards And flees into reversal Words fall apart Syllables dangle From swollen veins, Then empty Like autumn Like a house devoid of life Like a house devoid of light
No dwelling No life No secret green At the end of this night… But then, In a moment…
We stop We stare We turn We fall prey…
“And where, Where are the angels? Strange dreams In distant skies…”
“And where, Where are the angels? Shall they come swiftly For you hand i… For you and i?”
And how shall they Receive us? There hands like iron, Held out to the sky…

distance
There’s a place that I know Deep inside the pain of life Where the shadows of our lights Lie and wait for sacred night.
There’s a trembling in my hands A sad and slow will to touch The silence and the nullity That echo deep within me.
So take my hands and hold The confines of my soul, So take my eyes to see… For I can’t understand No, I can’t understand…
There’s a path that twist before me A hollow fragile road And I can touch it’s longing It’s far before I touch it’s promise I can see the stars, dim, sterile, bright and far As they echo out behind me, In a slight October breeze…
So take my heart and feel And take my limbs to walk The way is waiting here Amongst the symbols of our fear… And I can’t understand, No I can’t understand…
And the voice carries me But I can’t understand… And the silence swallows me But I can’t understand… And the sky opens me But I can’t understand, No I can’t understand…
So take my eyes to see Take my ears to hear Take my hands to touch, For in the hollows of the heart Reason is torn apart, And I can’t understand No I can’t understand…
