Donau

DONAU
With heavy hearts
On these frozen shores we stepped down
From these bare remains, hollow as caves
We stand dead
Me and the ground
It’s gonna be the last time
A winter’s sham
Resilience to bitter cold
Soldiers and machine guns
Roped us in three, shot the middle one
Just like sacks we tumbled down
Floating through big slabs of ice
For all I did, all for nothing
All my life fading before my eyes
The end is just a shot away
Kill three birds with one stone
Donau
Inside your womb
A graveyard beneath the murky waves
Do you remember
Waters turning red
Loglike bodies
Afloat under the dead sun
With heavy hearts
From these frozen shores we depart
Watch these bare remains, how they escape
Becoming dead
Donau
Inside your womb
A graveyard beneath the frozen waves
Do you remember
Blue giving way to red
Lifeless bodies
Afloat under the absent sky
