THE HANGING GARDEN
Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden Please don't speak In the hanging garden No one sleeps Catching haloes on the moon Gives my hand the shapes of angels In the heat of the night Walking into a dream... Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden Change the past In the hanging garden Wearing furs And masks Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animal die In the hanging garden
ONE HUNDRED YEARS
It doesn't matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio... Something small falls out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better.. Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow.. Stroking your hair As patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away... The pain and the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me around Just like the old days... Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat In a clean room The soldiers close in Under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth and My head bursts open A sound like a tiger Thrashing in the water Over and over we die One after the other... It feels like a hundred years One hundred years...
A FOREST
Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes.. I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees.. Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again
KILLING AN ARAB
Standing on the beach With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the arab on the ground See his open mouth But hear no sound I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I can turn and walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I choose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes Of the dead man on the beach The dead man On the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab
