"Der Kelch Des Lebens" songtext

"Der Kelch Des Lebens"

[German:]

Versagt im Wort
Im Traum zerflossen
Den Kelch des Lebens nur beruhrt
In einem Sog
Die Kehle mit dem Gift gefullt
Den Korper und das Fleisch zersetzt
Die Seele leer getrunken
Am Stamm der Sehnsucht wund gewetzt
Erhitzt - verbrannt
Zu heiss - vorbei
Sehnsucht

Ausgesetzt und abgeschoben
Den Samen in den Sumpf gepflanzt
Nunmehr da ich fuhle
Bin ich Mensch und will ich auch sprechen
Am Fuss der Berge will ich knien
Will das Meer mit Worten segnen
Welcher Wind hat mich gerufen
Welcher Clown hat mich ausgelacht
So brauche ich den Namen nicht
Werde nicht gerufen
Noch werde ich Antwort jemals horen

Es ist der Traum der mich gefuhrt
Und folgen werde ich bis in die Glut...

[English translate:]

Devoid of words
Dissolved in a dream
The goblet of life is only touched
In a wake
My throat filled with poison
My body and flesh disintegrated
My soul drunk empty
Wounded in the realms of yearning
Burned and scorched
Too hot - all past
Yearning

Abandoned and discarded
Seed painted in the mire
Now as I feel
I am a person and also wish to speak
I will knee at the foot of the mountain
Bless the sea with words
Which wind has called me
Which clown had derided me
I do not need the name
I will not call out
Neither will I ever hear the answer

The dream has led me
And I will follow it into the glowing fire...
