How Did I Die?
I was in a crater
Pockmarked fields on either side
I was meant to be all safe
How did I die?
How did I die?
Or didn't I?
Un sursaut, une crispation
Mon corps soudain
Comme voulant s'engloutir
Dans la terre
How did I die?
How did I die?
Or didn't I?
Didn't I die at all?
I fell into a ditch
Inside an A7V
On the end facing
Mephisto is it's name
How did I die?
How did I die?
Or didn't I?
Ein schwarzes Biest
Ein Splitterregen
Über den Bäumen zerspringt
Und niedergeht
How did I die?
How did I die?
Or didn't I?
Didn't I die at all?
Now there is only that sinister brown belt
A strip of murdered Nature. It seems to belong to another world.
Every sign of humanity has been swept away.
The woods and roads have vanished like chalk wiped from a board;
of the villages nothing remains but gray
smears where stone walls have tumbled together.
A confused mass of troubled earth.
Columns of muddy smoke spurt up continually as
high explosives tear deeper into this ulcered area.
How did I die?
I fell from the sky
Or didn't I?
I filled my mouth with water
So the bullet could suceed
How did I die?
How did I die?
Did I die by my own hand?
Or didn't I?
How did I die?
Or didn't I die at all?
How did we die?
Or didn't we?
Didn't we die at all?
We didn't die
We didn't die
We are back with a different song
We didn't die
We didn't die
We're just singing a different song
We are back with a change of weather
Ein anderer Wind, ein neues Lied
We didn't die
We didn't die
We give you a different song
Okookookookooskrookookookookoo
The difference is in the song
Okookookookooskrookookookookoo
– difference makes the song
We didn't die
We didn't die
We didn't die
We didn't die
Pockmarked fields on either side
I was meant to be all safe
How did I die?
How did I die?
Or didn't I?
Un sursaut, une crispation
Mon corps soudain
Comme voulant s'engloutir
Dans la terre
