lyrics

it shouldn't have started like this
but now it continues in bits
we left you, but you've followed
you can't live life without me
you will just not let us be
although we've esteemed your autarky
as a right, a right

prospects seem daunting
we've conferenced arbitratingly
but we can't slightly compromise
we despise that
it's terminally our dirge or it's yours
we shake hands but we still scabbard longswords
our ethics clash
it seems this is a war

(zornhau) doing
(krumphau) things that
(zwerchhau) my people are for the sake of love
(schielhau) symptoms
(scheitelhau) disease
(vom tach) i'm already taking steps
(oberhau) in case
(mittelhau) we have
(unterhau) to screw it up to start again

this clash is subservient
to our survival and the morals we rival
your sin is just another way of saying
that you require the utmost eliminating
it comes consistent to what we aren't
it's contra naturam
this is liturgical
cause now i see the theophany of all of the
values in the world used to choose my desires
my ambitions to fight and what jolts the wires
this is what i was made to do

both sides are arming
now both sides are bombing
the land and the water they reside
i can't hide
that it's terminally your dirge or it's ours
our demand of the end swells the hours
our civics clash
it's been declared this is war

(zornhau) doing
(krumphau) things that
(zwerchhau) my people are for the sake of love
(schielhau) symptoms
(scheitelhau) disease
(vom tach) i'm already taking steps
(oberhau) in case
(mittelhau) we have
(unterhau) to screw it up to start again

this is your dirge
