Nibelungen

[Verse 1] Since the first of you and me, asleep In a Nibelungen land Titanic curses trap me in A banishment of stay Symbols vanish from my senses Stem and stave the view appears [Verse 2] Symbols captured in a trance Vanish from my glance For the various defenses I enforce a strike the alarm For the various defenses That choose to be here and there And lose the direction everywhere [Verse 3] Since the first of you and me, asleep In a Nibelungen land, where we cannot be Almond trees grow along the mountain trail From their tongues the words are spelling The telling numb— I cannot hear it anymore I cannot hear it anymore [Verse 4] Since the first of you and me, here and there We lose the direction everywhere Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins— In flames I run In flames I run Waiting for the sign to come [Outro] Will you spell the words for me? Will you spell the words for me to hear? Nibelungen, nibelungen Nibelungen land
