Morgenrot [English translation]

How lovely our life must have been

Until knowledge fell from the tree

Perhaps that was even once

before the crab left the sea

Breath upon breath

keeps me alive furthermore

In order to bear the torments

That I imposed on myself with life[?]

Do you see the thorn bush bloom

in the last clear dawn?

Note to yourself the image that you have seen

For it will be dead tonight.

You speak freely and without guilt

about God's sick gifts

For children who, although they see the light of the world

they can't tolerate it.

Do you see the thorn bush bloom

in the last clear dawn?

Note to yourself the image that you have seen

For it will be dead tonight.

It will be dead!

And if there are still stories

that a new God unearths

Myriads later when the light

rises again from the ashes,

No torments will be seen

but glory and stupidity sound

like heroic songs at a human grave!

Do you see the thorn bush bloom

in the last clear dawn?

Note to yourself the image that you have seen

For it will be dead tonight.

Do you see the thorn bush bloom?

Tonight it will be dead.

We will be dead
