Since the first of you and me asleep In a Nibelungen land Titanic curses trap me in A banishment of stay Symbols vanish from my senses Stem and stave the view appears
Symbols captured in a trance Vanish from my glance For the various defenses I enforce a strike the alarm For the various defences That choose to be here and there And lose the direction everywhere
Since the first of you and me asleep In a Nibelungen land where we cannot be Almond trees grow along the mountain trail From their tongues the words are spelling The telling numb
I cannot hear it anymore I cannot hear it anymore
Since the first of you and me here and there We lose the direction everywhere Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins In flames I run In flames I run Waiting for the sign to come
Will you spell the words for me Will you spell the words for me to hear Nibelungen Nibelungen Nibelungen land
