Lyrics
This Deed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first line of the lyrics is a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche, from Die Fröhliche Wissenschaft (The Gay Science), section 125 of book 3.
Diese Tat ist ihnen immer noch ferner, als die fernsten Gestirne, und doch haben sie dieselbe getan!
Hände hoch!
Translation:
This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars, and yet they have done it themselves!
Hands up!
