The Night
A dark rainbow splits the crying sky
And a sad-eyed clown is starting to cry
His empty eyes look like water in the night
They reflect the moon, which’s beginning to hide
A pitch-black eagle whistles out of tune
A stray melody and then sinks the moon
The silver strings’ tones of the numb death-angel’s violin
Feed my soul with shadows that I’m seeking
A drunken ship leaving the damp harbour
‘cause I don’t know what I’m here for
A game is played with a deck of cards
Missing the ace and the jack of hearts
Outside of the honky-tonk the mild is black
And there’s a man with holes in his head
And a little red river like a silky thread
Runs down the faded badge around his neck
“This ain’t the place to be”, says the sailor and jumps
Onto his raft, then he sinks, but he might be drunk
Then Judas arrives and wants to buy
Forgiveness from a blind mad gypsy guy
The savage player seeks satisfaction
In the kingdom of the night
The high-handed circle of kings decides
To draw another self-portrait, that shines bright
A one-eyed pirate narrates of a far-off land
Where the Queen and the maid walking hand in hand
The sad old actor has to clean up behind the theatre
Now, the wounded hiker can’t walk just a single meter
The evil lord sits all alone,
Watching everything, on his throne
An old, cold man with metal eyes
Is selling American Nightmares
A little and poor girls face lines
Are running into a room, where
Time becomes a foggy nothing
The volcanic rain destroyed by burning
The bridge to the Promised Land, but someone endorses
To help her and save her with his horses
The magnificent castle of fate
Is falling under another wave
Someone draws apocalyptic visions
Into the sand next to the permissions
Of dreaming, which are slowly taken
Back to the sea by some burned out wave-men
And while Baudelaire is walking along the horizon
He’s sick of the guard who has got his eyes on
Every dream that melts into a meaningless thought
And someone throws angrily his handkerchief onto the ground
The dissatisfied Ophelia screams, Lord,
An awful and eye-breaking sound
