Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten; 
a farytale from the brother's Grimm

Der Esel ist ein armer Wicht / Sein Herr, der mochte ihn nicht / So zieht er durch die weite Welt, denn da ist nichts was ihn noch hält

Er trifft zuerst den armen Hund. Der musste leiden, ist ganz wund / Am Strassenrand, die alte Katz‘ / Sie hebt verzweifelt ihre Tatz‘

Zuletzt da kräht auch noch ein Hahn / Er kommt dazu und alles nun begann / Gemeinsam ziehen sie jetzt los und suchen ein Zuhause bloss

Nach Tagen sehen sie ein Licht / Nur Mut! Wir sind ja keine Wicht / Die Räuuberleiter hilft jetzt weiter / Dies ist am Ende auch gescheiter

So stürzen sie ins Räuberhaus, und alle Räuber laufen raus / Im Haus gibt es endlich zu essen, nun haben sie genug zu fressen

Jetzt ist das Haus der Räuber leer / Nach Bremen will nun keiner mehr / Einigkeit, die zahlt sich aus / Das gilt nicht nur im Räuberhaus

english translation

The donkey is a poor wretch / his master,  didn’t like him / so he roams the wide world, cause there is none, that him still hold

First he meets the poor dog / he had to suffer, is only sore / By the road, the olde cat / she desparatly raises her paw

Finaly there crows a cock / He’s coming in and all it started now / Together they are going now and looking only for a home

Some days after they spot a light / Be brave, we aint no wimp / A leg-up is whats helping now / that in end be more clever

So dash they in the robbers house, and all the robber running out / Within the house is finally food / So they can feast enough

Now the house of robber’s left / To Bremen no one want go / unity, is what pays out / Is true not only in the robber’s house

Ich stehl‘ dir deine Zeit, von deinem kurzen Leben / Ich halt‘ dich fest, wo es nichts zu halten gibt

Du bist wie ein Vampir / Saugst an meiner Energie / Müde bin ich es zu sagen : Mit dir zu leben, fällt mir langsam schwer

Ich möchte immer reden / Auch wenn es nichts zu reden gibt /  Ich koste Energie und Nerven mit meiner blinden Arroganz

Deine unersättliche Gier, war zuerst mein Lebenssaft / Geblendet vom Rausch der Macht, gewann ich jede Schlacht / Endlich bin ich jetzt erwacht

Mitleid und Liebe, die sterben mit mir / Mein Hass zerfrisst dich, mit rasender Gier

Zum letzten Mal, mein Vampir! Hör auf zu saugen! Lass mich endlich frei! Komm raus aus der Gruft!

Wir trieben durch das Leben / Nichts hat es uns gebracht / Nun suchen wir das Funkeln in schwarzer, dunkler Nacht / Dies Leben hat uns fertig gemacht

english translation

I steal your time, from your shortly life / I hold you tight, where is none to holding

You are like an vampire / sucks on my engergy / To say I’m tired: live with you, may does feeling hard

I allways like to talking, though there’s none to talking / I coast energy and nerves, with my blinded arrogance

Your insatiable greed, was my lifeblood at the start / Blinded from the rush of power, won I every fight / at long last I waking up

Compassion and love, they die with me / my hate eats you up, with maddened greed

For at last, my vampire! Stop sucking! Finally let me free / Come out from the tomb!

We drifted trough the life / none have it brought for us / now we search the glint in blackened murky night / this life has got down ourselfs

This is a song inspired from a text taken from 
the "Tessiner Zeitung". 
It's a saga from a little vally in south switzerland

A long time ago living in a valley, an old lonely woman only with goat and straw

In the near river, she stored the straw / With this wet material she made hats of straw

One day in the winter, the weather was bad, a stranger knocked to your rotten door

As the weather improved, the visitor thanked and the old woman got a wish still free

That’s my straw in the river, no longer be stolen / Everyone who tries,  trapped in the river

Soon after that came Death passing by / She asks the Death, for a final wish

A last hat of straw she still wants to weave / So Death went to the river and was caught there too

After some times, they released Mr. Death and went with him, on your last trip (on their final trip)

 

I can see everything down there / It’s about you and me / I can see everything down there / I can see you too

We are almost controlled like a doll

I can see everything down there / It’s about you and me / I can see everything down there / I can understand you

Which turned out there, to be a breeze / The tree loses; it’s his leaves

I can see everything down there / It’s about your tree / I can see everything down there / How he lose his leaves

The hill gets off, like you and me / The soil becomes so hard and stony

I can see everything down there / It’s about your tree / I can see everything down there / I will understand you

Your life is so hard and stony / We have nothing more to say

I can see everything down there / It’s about your tree / I can see everything down there / It’s time to stop!

Nameless / That’s how I was born

Nameless / So I will go again

I saw a lot here / A lot of good and more bad

Caseless / I cross the world

hear laugh and cry

Soulless, I expierence people

Emotionsless; dull and cold

Joyless

Nameless / Soulless / Emotionsless / Caseless / Jobless / Headless / Joyless

I am nameless / I am soulless / I am joyless

I am nameless / I am joyless

I am nameless / I am soulless / I am joyless / I am uncontrolled

I am nameless / I am joyless

Nameless / That’s how I was born

Emotionsless I judge you

Spineless, you let yourself be controlled

Caseless / Are you ashamed of yourself?

Soulless like a fucking doll

Homeless / Mistaken through life

Nameless / I leave you

The nighttime is the right time

How I love the silence of the night / Only darkness and starlight / Far away from the city lights / Only shadows and relaxtion

The nighttime is the right time

Here alone my thoughts are free / without the hectic rush of the day / only here created new stories / that are forgotten in daily haste

The nighttime is the right time

In the dark is veiled which can be seen on the day / Here you can free yourself from the daily agony

The nighttime is the right time

Shadows, they play with me, here / Not a trace of human greed / Trails, seem endless to be, here / And nothing seems to be locked

All over here and now, time does not matter / Tomorrow will come soon and the day will be endless

So many books, which I have not read / So many places which I have not seen / So little time to live a life

What happened if I would have read all the books?  What happened if I would have visited all places? What happened if a life would be longer?

Still is my book not finished / Still is my trip to all the places I haven’t seen / Still is my time definitly not expired

So many questions to which there is no answer / So many trips, which, I can not decide / So many times, to not to do

What would I learn if I read the books? What would I see if I started the trip? What happend if I would use the time?

What if you, your book of life, not yet described has been?

Go fill your pages!

Rabenschwärme – fliegen krächzend über Land / Prophezeihen kommend Unheil und Tod

A hard fight awaits us / We travel fast and shriek in joy

Rabenlärmen – hört man von Fern und Nah / Proklamieren erfolgtes Unheil und Tod

Battle it makes night into day / Brothers and sisters, they fight like never bevor / Wrapped in red firelight

Ravenhost – lucky fly the fields of blood / Prophecy for their benefit is done

Tobt die Schlacht, wie nie zuvor / Unheil ohne Ende / Die Raben sie alle lachen im Chor

Ravencluster – pounce the battlefield / Sie zerren und fressen, wie niemals zuvor / the ground turns red / the mankind is dead

Well, with a kind of humor against the serious ;-)

Ich kaufe die Zeitung / Lese mein Horoscop / Es steht von Glück und Liebe / Alles ist im Lot

Ich lauf nach Hause / Das Auto ist weg / Zuhause find ich meine Frau, mit einem Anderen im Bett

Horrorscop / Mein Leben ist der Tod

Ich renne zur Arbeit / Der Bus ist schon fort / Mein Chef steht vor der Tür, mit hochrotem Kopf

Horrorscop / Ich glaub ich bin tot

Mein Job ist im Eimer / Die Geldbörse fast leer / Mit dem letzten Geld, kauf‘ ich ein Gewehr

Ich gehe nach Hause / Die Wohnung ist leer / Ich lege den Kopf auf mein Gewehr

Horrorscop / Ich glaub‘, ich mach mich tod

Horrorscop / Ich glaub‘, ich lach mich tod

Kaufe keine Zeitung mehr / Kein Horoscop les‘ ich mehr / Kein Glück und keine Liebe / Nur noch harte Hiebe

Horrorscop / Ich mach euch alle tod

english translation

I buy the newspaper / reading my horoscope / It’s all about luck and love / Everythings allright

I go for home / The car is gone / At home I find my wife in bed, with another one

Horrorscope / My life is the death

I run for my work / the bus has long gone / My boss waits at the door, with a fully red head

Horrorscope / I believe me is dead

My job is in the bucket / the purses almost empty / with my last money, i go buy a rifle

I go for home / The house is all empty / I lay my head / upon the rifle

Horrorscope / I think to make me dead

Horrorscope / I think to laugh me dead

Buy no newspaper anymore / no more horoscope I’ll read / No luck or love,  only hardend blows

Horrorscope / I make all of you dead

 

ODIN!

Father of the gods, I call thee / Master of the runes, you hear me? Silence is the world apart / The last firestorm is approaching

The wolf calling from the distance, his shackles are released / Groaning falls bright stars / Gone are the now and all the hours

ODIN! Father of the gods / ODIN! Master of the runes

Muspells sons – bloody border / Odin hastly riding to Midgaard / proud army wating for, to perform the last action run

ODIN! Father of the gods / ODIN! Master of the runes

Odins Ger flies through the wind / It’s over all, the gods favour / Now, this is the last act / It begins the final holocaust

ODIN! Father of the runes / ODIN! Master of the gods

Thor and Loki / Frigg and Freya / Baldr and the Heimdal and all the north Gods
