lyrics

He built the respect out of stone – the beast envied him.
As much milk as there is of bones – another came to win.

Troops were hers, they’d go and part the mother’s shame.
the young were her children only in name.
Fairly happy there with the collapse of the child.

Break down the doors and be glad– they were all so young.
With the last breath that they had – (they asked) is this the mother tongue?

The words are lost in between two worlds,
The language played the joke on us - and we could laugh along

Wit can never be bargained nor sold
Share this moment with me I would hold you in my arms
But I guess the same joke is now upon us.
What once was “our hearts’ truest desires”
has become „bodies need cardiac organs“.
And now I laugh alone at Shellfish, a military person.
