lyrics

Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse, Holy crosses are the verses
Dran die Dichter stumm verbluten, That the poet mutely bleeds for,
Blindgeschlagen von der Geier Stricken blind by the vulture
Flatterndem Gespensterschwarme! Flapping swarm of ghosts.

In den Leibern schwelgten Schwerter, Swords gorged upon corpses,
Prunkend in des Blutes Scharlach! On parade in blood scarlet!
Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse, Holy crosses are the verses
Dran die Dichter stumm verbluten. That the poet mutely bleeds for.

Tot das Haupt - erstarrt die Locken - Dead the head--stiff the ringlets--
Fern, verweht der Lärm des Pöbels. Far the scattered noise of rabble.
Langsam sinkt die Sonne nieder, Slowly the sun sinks below,
Eine rote Königskrone. - A red king's crown.--
Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse! Holy crosses are the verses!
