Östenmarsch
From the album Östenbräun (1989/353). Yes the diacritics; I won't ever be sure if the fuckup is intentional or because of 🇬🇧 & 🇫🇷 really having no one to proofread the 🇩🇪 way back then.. 😞 So sei es.
And “hermetic lyrics”, I pondered elsewhere. ENOTIME rn @ this 1/11/25 12:12 as it happens. 🫥 So just be dumping..
You lay covered in those moments, ⑊ as you do in the morning when you awake ⑊ from an agonizing dream, And in the course of detention you sometimes appeal ⑊ to the wilderness To the events which were ⑊ getting underway when you lost your footing, Events which were ⑊ like semi-awakenings ⑊ that at times explode ⑊ on the surface of the windscreen. You flounder under, ⑊ and then you sink. The man I was seeking ⑊ among other men died in his bed ⑊ like a royal prince, before covering his body ⑊ with the standard, a grace and a trouble, surely. By its gentle gesture ⑊ there arose an instinct. I recognised a hand lift ⑊ among the dead. Alone you did what ⑊ a soldier would not dare do; You now descend ⑊ without fear or sorrow. Black shorts gloved your soul ⑊ like your body and, when you offended ⑊ the designated grave, the line of a puzzle ⑊ aligned upon a lightning bolt, was cut into shapes ⑊ with the sharp edge of a blade. We saw you arise, ⑊ carried away by madness, attached tightly by your hair ⑊ to wreathes of iron in that swirling swastika ⑊ and that dirty rose, your arms twisted ⑊ from being taken alive. So which angel has led you ⑊ across the solid fields? Go without stumbling, ⑊ bending the air with your hands. A delicate helix ⑊ in front of a meteor, thus marking out and ⑊ destroying our precious path.
