Bethlehem

Promise - Thou Crown Of The Death Cult

Bethlehem


Through the exalted darkness 
of the future past 
the murmuring longs for light 
for a way out 
between dual worlds 

Silenced is the indifferent attention 
And it seems to me 
as if I would see an undergarment 
that, tied up in a tree, 
is a sanctuary for the humble ones 

Conjured up by the power 
of a fading second sun 
three fingers of my left hand are 
set free weakened seed in the uncertainty 
of bloodsoaked mire 

Yesterday I meant it just like 
it sounds tomorrow 
It was contact with the nothingness 
that tatooed my third finger 
But when the amfibian opened to me 
I seemed to be someone else 
and cut off my entire arm 

I catch you with my bringer of death 
and you still think it was insanity 
yet it is promised: 
I will kill myself furthermore 

Oh Promise - Thou Crown Of The Death Cult 

When black raindrops serve only the one goal 
to burn in nocturnal insignificance 

And he who is nailed to his own cross 
feels the wish 
to prefer You Death over a life that never 
existed 

Then the distant point in time has arrived 
to gaze into your redeeming eyes 
and to welcome one's own downfall 
with open arms
