Neimandswasser lyrics

I have to say 
I have to see 
The twilight moonlit 
The houses on hills 
All appear so blind 
At night 
The webs that bind them 
To the skies 
Are golden, sparkling 
With blood and dust 
The angelic motes 
On beams of blood 
Dance 
At night 
The trees turn under the rain 
Pan lies dead 
From rut to rot 

I saw the lighthouses all fall 
Small angels hold parasols 
And point to other skies 
The clacking on the fence 
Is long and loud 
The noise of the fingers 
Crack in my head 
Behind my eyes 
Between the bloodwalls 
That line the streets and the skulls 
Forever 
The bonewhite temple 
Letters piling up 
Unanswered stars yawning together 
You may have this gift from me 
And I will send you nothing 

From what I see 
(And I see all) 
The green is going 
Black peter arises 
With his sack chock full of tricks 
(And none of them eternal) 
Black peter arises 
With his bag of blood 
(And none of this runs eternal) 
Black peter arises 
And he smiles 
White teeth cap over the blackened stumps 
All the kings of all particular times 
Have passed away 
And lie in gutters 
Pretty as pink 
I thought that I had seen 
Some bright new dawn 
The children all laid down and smiled 
The fires no longer smold and dullied 
I watched the trash 
That covered this world 
Swimming in farces 
In mud and in blood 
Without a care in the world 
The corpses are piled up almost to heaven 
Chuckling or smiling 
And rubbing their hands 
Without a care in the world 
And so we all lie dozing under the sun 
Images of banality flick past our eyes 
As we bask in this paradise 
Littered around us 
Books of religion covering my feet 
And I haven't the time for a word 

But still I see cottages covered in honeysuckle 
The dovecots so full of the Birds in their thousands 
The cats lap at cream in their pussyland dream 
And they haven't a care in the world 

And then it shines 
We're all dust 
I drop the compasss and point out the pole 
And then it shines 
We're all dust 
So wait for me at niemandswasser 
As I watch the flowers bloom 
And trail the horseflies as they scream 
The songs we'll never know: 
It shines: 
That we're all dust 
It shines: 
We're all dust 
We're all dust
