Moribund The Burgermeister |
| Caught the chaos in the market square |
| I don’t know what, I don’t know why |
| But something’s wrong down there |
| Their bodies twisting and turning in a thousand ways |
| The eyes all rolling round and round to a distant gaze |
| I look at that crowd |
| Some are jumping up in the air |
| Say, «We're drowning in a torrent of blood!» |
| Others going down on their knees |
| Seen a savior come out of the mud |
| Oh, Mother! |
| It’s eating out my soul |
| Destroying law and order |
| I’m going to lose control |
| What can I do to stop this plague |
| Spread by sight alone? |
| Just a glimpse and then a quiver |
| Then they shiver to the bone |
| I look at them go |
| Bunderschaft, are you going daft? |
| Better seal off the castle grounds |
| «This is Moribund, the Burgermeister |
| Gonna keep the monster down |
| Somebody sent the subversive element |
| Gonna chase it out of town» |
| No-one will tell what all this is about |
| But I will find out |
| I will find out |
| I will find out |
| This thing’s outrageous, I tell you on the level |
| It’s really so contagious, must be the work of the devil |
| You better go now, pick up the pipers |
| And tell them to play |
| Seems the music keeps them quiet |
| There is no other way |
| I close the doors |
| «We've tried potions and waxen dolls |
| But none of us could find any cures» |
| Mother please, is it just a disease |
| That has them breaking all my laws? |
| Check if you can disconnect the effect |
| And I’ll go after the cause |
| No-one will tell what all this is about |
| But I will find out |
| I will find out |
| I will find out |
| Mother, you know your son |
| When I say I will, I will |
