Die dunkelste Nacht


There are too many secrets
surging through me
and they're not all mine.
There's not enough room for them
and they know that.

It's too cold
(but they don't think so)
and I feed them well.
And I watch them devour 
the death that despises me.

There are too many of them hovering 
over me when I sleep.
And the voices sound like mine.
But the terrors from Hell aren't mine.
And my screams don't even curdle their blood,
they entertain them.
Sometimes I am obscene, and it's
all just entertainment.
But when I attack them in the name of God

I'd like back all the things
I don't deserve, please.

And they whisper lies to me at night.
And they ridicule me at night.
And I need to stay awake.

Oh, Dear Jesus may the
scales of lies be shed from my eyes
that believed them.

The slick and sly and skilled disguise
will not be soon forgotten.

Fight, fight fight fight.

Fight fight fight fight fight. Fight.

Fight fight. Bleed. Fight bleed.

No sleep.

It's won.

And isn't this all so convenient

to have another thing to blame but myself.



"Sounds like a personal problem."



You're right.

Good night, darkest night.



Hoppe hoppe Reiter
wenn er fällt, dann schreit er,
fällt er in den Teich,
find't ihn keinter gleich. 


Hoppe hoppe Reiter
wenn er fällt, dann schreit er,
fällt er in den Graben,
fressen ihn die Raben.


Hoppe hoppe Reiter
wenn er fällt, dann schreit er,
fällt er in den Sumpf,
dann macht der Reiter... Plumps!

The Same

Dark clouds rolling around
Dancing, swirling with the sound
Thin and sudden strips of light
Thick, deliberate drops of night

Faster beating, shorter breathing
Eyes like oceans, heart is steaming
Knuckles raw and war-torn
Words that pierce, a stream of scorn

Lids lock at once to hide the gloom
Thoughts unspoken fill the room
Mind fizzles, shortened fuse
Collects itself within the muse

The lull itself will wallow in
Until the shades are drawn again
At that moment godsent dawn
Reveals the dark, once there, is gone

Golden morning streams on through
Making mirrors of the dew
A fragrant breeze like baby's breath
Cancels any thoughts of death

Fresh windows to the soul are dry
Lungs expand, collapse in sigh
Furnace within has been removed
Tired mouth and mind are soothed

Mind will choose, body will follow
Heart will either fill or hollow
Come upon Earth wind, sleet, and flame
The Sun will rise and set the same
