Tote Wei?e Marder Songtext

auf sich stumm bewegenden Lippen

Und der durchlauchte Unterschied
in einer stets ungeliebten Welle
verbla?t im Fegefeuer
des kleinen Todes

Wie der Mensch so stirbt sein Wasser
und Christus ward oftmals begraben
in urkomischer Abendmahle

Moge der einst gebogene Schadelknochen
uber die Spitze eines verlorenen
Messers erwachsen

[poem by bartsch]

[English translation: Dead White Marten]

out of a watery devotion in trinitious aspect awakened
grants apple juice
to the disgusting duke
a strangely crying hereditary burden

To the bloody chainment
of lust impregnated by Thanes
dancing clothespins darken
a Rusty Mosaic
upon quietly moving lips

And the leaking difference
in a permanently unloved wave
Fades in purgatory
of the little death

man dies like his water
And often Christ was buried
in a hilarious communion

May the once bent skull bone
grow above the top of a lost knife

[translated by nicholas reimer and bartsch]
