Der Ast
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.
was bin ich?
wer bin ich?
ein unbedeutendes staubkorn,
ein niemand in einem niemals endenden,
grenzenlos kalten universum?
now im lyin' here in wet grass
staring through bare and leafless
quite dismally cut black trees
whose branches look like blunt
and rounded - sad n' dismally - mentally mutilated
dead persons - to the cold bright moon...
to the cold bright moon...
wozu bin ich?
warum bin ich?
wann - oder - bin ich - bereits einer der äste
dieser kahlen, laublosen, gar trostlos,
schwarz, gestutzten bäume?
wo keimt ein zweig?
wer keimt den zweig?
bevor der ast zu faulen beginnt
wo keimt mein zweig?
wer keimt den zweig?
bevor der ast zu faulen beginnt
denn sobald der ast zu faulen beginnt,
er das leben mit sich nimmt,
und frei es wieder gibt,
wenn er im nassen gras erliegt.
