Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
and the long journey towards oblivion...***
De bare branches break,
cold drops split on a temple.
De seconds pass unbearably in da broken world
in bitter silence,
in loveless timelessness.
Fed on sheer violence en porn,
on gagas en rihannas - de chunks of singing meat -
on borrowed passion,
on stolen grief en joy;
demented in their heart
and hollow to the core -
What kind of man is this?
Is it a man?
or a distorting mirror?
or a top of deadly bottom?
All hopes abandoned
how one can live de life?
how one can memorize da voice of his unspoiled heart -
Da voice ye nevah hear again...
CHORUS:
Winds blow - the street poles bow
just as does the human heart
In this endless litany
that soars up and up.
Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
and the long journey towards oblivion...
De bare branches break,
all senses numb en distant.
And as you look back at your unblessed past
what else remains untouched
by emptiness en vile?
Quenched with vain en lies,
debt-trapped en mind-restrained
What kind of man is this?
No angel comes.
no blissful memory descends upon your heart.
no memory
and no salvation.
All hopes abandoned
how one can memorize da voice of his unspoiled heart, its purity -
Da voice ye nevah hear again...
CHORUS:
Winds blow - the street poles bow
just as does the human heart
In this endless litany
that soars up and up.
The dark wind whirrin and slashin,
rollin it right into your eardrums till they crack:
Hear it wail!
It wails up and up towards the blackened stars -
and spreads its agonizing trail.
CHORUS:
Bitter winds blow - the street poles bow, and break -
just as does the human heart.
In this endless litany
that soars up and up,
Above the sadlands
of your deserted heart,
your heart...
