Va(r)nitas, Vanitas... (...omnia Vanitas)
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.
Knochen verbrennen bei 760 C,
und damit ist eigentlich auch schon alles gesagt.
Komm', lab' uns spielen "Konig & Konigin",
dreimal darfst Du raten, wer von beiden ich dann bin!
Doch in Grunde ist dies alles einerlei,
zu Staub werden wir zerfallen
und sind dann... ach ...ohnehin gleich!
Dennoch muß ich bekennen,
die Einsicht fallt zuweilen schwer,
Dinge an denen wir hangen,
geben wir nur hochst ungern her.
Oh, alles ist verganglich
und existiert nur kurze Zeit,
wovor wir uns so furchten,
ist meistens blobe Eitelkeit.
Was and're von uns glauben,
ist fluchtig, wie ein Furz im Wind.
Lab' sie denken, was sie wollen,
es gibt Dinge, die wirklich wichtig sind!
Komm', schliebe Deine Augen
und sag' geschwind: WAS KANNST DU SEH'N ?
Schaust Du mit off'nem Herzen,
werden selbst garst'ge Monster schon...
("Beauty comes from the inside
and so does ugliness!
Yet, make-up is my armour, Dear,
and i must hide my face.
One and one is sometimes three,
sometimes nothing at all,
all is mortal, all is vain...
and mortal things myst fall!")
...Knochen verbrennen bei 760 C,
und damit ist eigentlich
auch schon alles gesagt!
