Mein Herz brennt : My Heart Burns

Now, dear children, pay attention

I am the voice from the pillow

I have brought you something

I ripped it from my chest



With this heart I have the power

To blackmail the eyelids

I sing until the day awakes

A bright light on the heavens

My heart burns



They come to you in the night

Demons, ghosts, black fairies

They creep out of the cellar shaft

And will look under your bedding



Now, dear children, pay attention

I am the voice from the pillow

I have brought you something

A bright light on the heavens

My heart burns



They come to you in the night

And steal your small hot tears

They wait until the moon awakes

And put them in my cold veins



Now, dear children, pay attention

I am the voice from the pillow

I sing until the day awakes

A bright light on the heavens

My heart burns



My heart burns

Links 234 : Left 234

Can you break hearts

can hearts speak

can you torture hearts

can you steal hearts



They want my heart on the right spot

but then I look below

it beats left there



Can hearts sing

can a heart burst

can hearts be pure

can a heart be made of stone



They want my heart on the right spot

but then I look below

it beats left there

left two three four left *



Can you ask hearts

(can you) carry a child under yourself

can you give it away

(can you) think with your heart



They want my heart on the right spot

but then I look below

it beats there in the left breast

the envious have not known it well



Left two three four left



=======================================

Sonne : Sun

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, out



Everyone is waiting for the light

be afraid, don't be afraid

the sun is shining out of my eyes

it will not set tonight

and the world counts loudly to ten



One

Here comes the sun

Two

Here comes the sun

Three

It is the brightest star of them all

Four

Here comes the sun



The sun is shining out of my hands

it can burn, it can blind you all

when it breaks out of the fists

it lays down hotly on the face

it will not set tonight

and the world counts loudly to ten



One

Here comes the sun

Two

Here comes the sun

Three

It is the brightest star of them all

Four

Here comes the sun

Five

Here comes the sun

Six

Here comes the sun

Seven

It is the brightest star of them all

Eight, nine

Here comes the sun



The sun is shining out of my hands

it can burn, it can blind you

when it breaks out of the fists

it lays down hotly on your face

it lays down painfully on your chest

balance is lost

it lets you go hard to the floor

and the world counts loudly to ten



One

Here comes the sun

Two

Here comes the sun

Three

It is the brightest star of them all

Four

And it will never fall from the sky

Five

Here comes the sun

Six

Here comes the sun

Seven

It is the brightest star of them all

Eight, nine

Here comes the sun

Ich will : I want

I want



I want you to trust me

I want you to believe me

I want to feel your eyes

I want to control every heartbeat



I want to hear your voices

I want to disturb the peace

I want you to see me well

I want you to understand me



I want your fantasy

I want your energy

I want to see your hands

I want to go down in applause



Do you see me?

Do you understand me?

Do you feel me?

Do you hear me?

Can you hear me?

We hear you

Can you see me?

We see you

Can you feel me?

We feel you

I don't understand you

We want you to believe everything from us

We want to see your hands

We want to go down in applause - yeah

Feuer frei! : Fire Free!

Whoever knows pain becomes criticized

From the fire that burned up the skin

I throw a light in my face

A hot cry

Fire Freely!



Bang bang



Whoever knows pain is raised

From the fire that burns in desire

A hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb

A hot cry

Fire Freely!



Bang bang

Fire Freely!



Whoever knows pain is dangerous

From the fire that burns the soul

Bang bang

The burned child is dangerous

With fire that separates from the life

A hot cry

Bang bang

Fire Freely!



Your happiness

It is not my happiness

It is my misery



Bang bang

Fire Freely!

Mutter : Mother

The tears of a crowd of very old children

I string them on a white hair

I throw the wet chain into the air

and wish that I had a mother

no sun shines for me

There was no breast that cried milk

There is a tube that sticks in my throat

I have no navel on my stomach



Mother



I was not allowed to lick any nipples

and there was no fold to hide in

no one gave me a name

fathered in haste and without sperm

I have sworn tonight

For the mother that never gave birth to me

I will send her a sickness

and afterwards let her sink in the river



Mother



An eel lives in her lungs

on my forehead, a birthmark

I remove it with the kiss of a knife

even if it causes me to die



Mother



An eel lives in her lungs

on my forehead, a birthmark

I remove it with the kiss of a knife

even if it causes me to bleed to death



Mother

Oh give me strength



======================================

Spieluhr : Play Hour

A small human only pretends to die

It wanted to be completely alone

The small heart stood still for hours

So they decided it was dead

It is being buried in wet sand *

With a music box in its hand



The first snow covers the grave

It woke the child very softly

In a cold winter night

The small heart is awakened



As the frost flew into the child

It wound up the music box

A melody in the wind

And the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider

And no angel climbs down

My heart does not beat anymore

Only the rain cries on the grave

Up and down, rider

A melody in the wind

My heart does not beat anymore

And the child sings from the ground



The cold moon, in full magnificence

It hears the cries in the night

And no angel climbs down

Only the rain cries on the grave



Between hard oak boards

It will play with the music box

A melody in the wind

And the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider

And no angel climbs down

My heart does not beat anymore

Only the rain cries on the grave

Up and down, rider

A melody in the wind

My heart does not beat anymore

And the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider

My heart does not beat anymore



On Totensonntag they heard

This melody from god's field

Then they unearthed it

They saved the small heart in the child



Up and down, rider

A melody in the wind

My heart does not beat anymore

And the child sings on the ground

Up and down, rider

And no angel climbs down

My heart does not beat anymore

Only the rain cries on the grave

Zwitter : Hermaphrodite

I have stolen a kiss from her

She wanted to get it back

I have not let her go again

We melted into one piece

It is just too right for me

I am a beautiful bisexual

Two souls under my chest

Two genders, one lust



Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite

Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite



I go differently through the day

I am the most beautiful person of them all

I see marvelous things

I did not notice them before

I can make myself happy everyday

I can send myself roses

There is no second and no third

One and one that is the same



Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite

I am so in love

Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite

I am so in love with myself



One for me

One for you

Is there not one

For me



One for me

One for you

One and one

That's me



I am alone but not alone

I can be together with myself

Early I kiss my reflection

And at night I fall asleep with myself

When the others searched for girls

I could already fertilize myself

I am not even downhearted then

When one tells me "fuck yourself"



Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite

I am so in love

Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite

I am so in love with myself



One for me

One for you

Is there not one

For me



One for me

One for you

One and one

That's me



==============================

Rein raus : In out

I am the rider

You are the horse

I climb on

We ride off

You moan

I whisper to you

An elephant in the eye of a needle



In, out



I am the rider

You are the horse

I have the key

You have the lock

The door opens

I enter

Life can be so splendorous



In, out



Deeper, deeper

Say it! Say it loud!

Deeper, deeper

I am well within your skin

And a thousand elephants break out



The ride was short

I am sorry

I climb off

I have no time

I must go now to the other horses

They also want to be ridden



In, out



In (deeper)

Out (deeper)



=================================

Adios : Goodbye

He lays the needle in the vein

and he asks the music to come inside

between his throat and forearm

the melody travels softly in the bones



He has closed his eyes

a battle rages in his blood

an army marches through his bowel

the intestines become warm slowly



Nothing is for you

nothing was for you

nothing remains for you

forever



He takes the needle from the vein

the melody travels out of the skin

violins burn with shrieking

harps cut the flesh

he has opened his eyes

but he is not awake



Nothing is for you

nothing was for you

nothing remains for you

forever



===============================



11

Nebel : Fog

They stand with their arms tightly around each other

A mixture of flesh, so rich in days

Where the sea touches the land

She wants to tell him the truth



But the wind eats her words

Where the sea ends

She holds his hand, trembling

And kissed him on the forehead



She carries the evening in her chest

And knows that she must wither away

She lays her head in his lap

And asks for a last kiss



And then he kissed her

Where the sea ends

Her lips, delicate and pale

And his eyes tear up



The last kiss

Was so long ago

The last kiss

He does not remember it anymore



===========================================

Hallelujah

He is religious and very sensitive

On his wall is a picture of the Lord

He wipes the spots from the Bible

He glady distributes the Communion



(Hallelujah)

(Hallelujah)



He loves the boys in the choir

They keep their souls pure

But the tenor worries him

So he must be the closest to him

On his nightstand, quiet and wordless

A picture of the Lord

He slowly turns it around



When the church clock strikes twice

(Hallelujah)

He folds his hands for prayer

(Hallelujah)

He has remained without a wife

(Hallelujah)

So he must love his neighbor

(Hallelujah)



The young man is allowed to stay with him

The sin nests above the leg

So he gladly helps to exorcize them

To music and candlelight



When the church clock strikes twice

(Hallelujah)

He folds his hands for prayer

(Hallelujah)

Has has remained without a wife

(Hallelujah)

So he must love his neighbor

(Hallelujah)

When the church clock strikes twice

(Hallelujah)

He takes the boy into his prayers

(Hallelujah)

He is a true Christian

(Hallelujah)

And knows what charity is

(Hallelujah)



Turn around slowly

Turn around
