| We live on tea and grief
| We live on tea and grief
|
| We who brought this cult to light
| We who brought this cult to light
|
| We who only live for them
| We who only live for them
|
| And only by their code
| And only by their code
|
| We are entombed alive
| We are entombed alive
|
| In these poems
| In these poems
|
| Watch us dance on the beaches
| Watch us dance on the beaches
|
| Watch us die in the sun
| Watch us die in the sun
|
| You think you understand our pain
| You think you understand our pain
|
| And that lives full of fatigue
| And that lives full of fatigue
|
| Can sweeten up
| Can sweeten up
|
| You have come to love
| You have come to love
|
| Our name
| Our name
|
| This dancing spray of flame
| This dancing spray of flame
|
| This tribute to our god
| This tribute to our god
|
| But we are savage children
| But we are savage children
|
| We are sleepless soldiers
| We are sleepless soldiers
|
| We partners in grief
| We partners in grief
|
| We have turned to them
| We have turned to them
|
| As flowers turn to the sun
| As flowers turn to the sun
|
| For they make us disappear
| For they make us disappear
|
| In the darkness of their fire
| In the darkness of their fire
|
| Wir kennen einander nicht
| We don't know each other
|
| Wir Moorsoldaten
| We bog soldiers
|
| Und suchen wir alle auch das Licht
| And let's all seek the light
|
| Wir Moorsoldaten
| We bog soldiers
|
| So leuchtet doch all unsere Müh vergebens
| So all our toil shines in vain
|
| So leuchtet auch der Tod vergebens
| So also death shines in vain
|
| Leuchtet das Leben uns denn nicht?
| Doesn't life shine for us?
|
| Wir belügen einander nicht
| We don't lie to each other
|
| Wir Moorsoldaten
| We bog soldiers
|
| Wir betrügen einander nicht
| We don't cheat on each other
|
| Wir Moorsoldaten
| We bog soldiers
|
| Und bleibt auch Alles stehn
| And everything stays still
|
| Um in Gleichgültigkeit zu vergehen
| To pass away in indifference
|
| Wir zerfressen einander nicht
| We don't eat each other up
|
| Es lebe die Freiheit! | Long live freedom! |
