Der Tanz Der Toten In Das Grab (Dance Of The Dead In The Grave)


My fortress is my mind; fallen and fallible
My soul is my animal; lurid and lovable

When I am sad, I do a little dance
Hold myself in my own arms
And pray for a second chance

My desire is my grave; misunderstood and miserable
My life is my journey; disillusioned and damnable

When I am sad, I sing a little song
Seat myself in my own throne
And wish all the right was wrong

My problem is my heart; immortal and incurable
My hand is my strength; little and laughable

When I am sad, I do a little dance
Hold myself in my own arms
And pray for a second chance

My hatred is my favorite; ready and reusable
My love is my enigma; unreal and unknowable

When I am sad, I sing a little song
Seat myself in my own throne
And wish all the right was wrong

Her fortress was my mind; it did not end well
Her pet was my soul; maybe I will burn in Hell

When she is sad, she does not think of me
She is held in the arms of another
She does not wonder what has become of me

Her grave would have been my desire
Her journey would have ended in fire

When she is sad, she does not sing for me
She is under the rule of no one
She will go on living, continuing to be free

Her problem was never her heart
Her strength was what drove us apart

When she is sad, she does not think of me
She is held in the arms of another
She does not wonder what has become of me

My hatred is my favorite; ready and reusable
My love is my enigma; unreal and unknowable

When I am sad, I do a little dance
Hold myself in my own arms
And pray for a second chance
