Nibelungen - Nico

Since the first of you and me, asleep

In a Nibelungen land

Titanic curses trap me in

A banishment of stay

Symbols vanish from my senses

Stem and stave the view appears

Symbols captured in a trance

Vanish from my glance

For the various defenses

I enforce a strike the alarm

For the various defenses

That choose to be here and there

And lose the direction everywhere

Since the first of you and me, asleep

In a Nibelungen land, where we cannot be

Almond trees grow along the mountain trail

From their tongues the words are spelling

The telling numb—

I cannot hear it anymore

I cannot hear it anymore

Since the first of you and me, here and there

We lose the direction everywhere

Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins—

In flames I run

In flames I run

Waiting for the sign to come

Will you spell the words for me?

Will you spell the words for me to hear?

Nibelungen, nibelungen

Nibelungen land
