Rome - Kali Yuga Über Alles lyrics
[Rome - Kali Yuga Über Alles lyrics]
One of the saddest things about the
Modern world is that people
Live in a tiny time slice
Which they carry forward
With them nothing remains the centuries
To them are completely dark just
Un-illumined corridors through
Which they stagger into a single
Little sliver of light
Every great civilization has a record
Of a period of a golden age, when there was
No war, no dispute, no lying
It's not by shunning darkness
That you'll know light
Not holy fields of wood alive, of stone alive
And up in the rooms of your barren house
You're reassembling language to
Keep realities out
I know your credentials
And I know you'll tell
In this game of reeds
In the logic of the spell
My burning attachment to contingencies
For who wills the end, may will the means
When it's only fools and firebrand
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
The books of law in the arsonist's hands
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
Time to collect the stones
And what our guards left behind
Stray out of being, and out of time
I know your credentials, I know your tell
Embracing that death you know so well
When it's only fools and firebrand
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
The books of law in the arsonist's hands
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
Jätän sinut kaaokseesi
Joka ei ole enää osani
Sillä olen myrskyn silmässä
Olen sen elävä keskus
Olen muinainen järjestys
Ja mikä on Kaaosta on minulle toisarvoista
Sen maailman riekaleita
Joka ei enää koske minua
Modern world is that people
Live in a tiny time slice
Which they carry forward
With them nothing remains the centuries
To them are completely dark just
Un-illumined corridors through
Which they stagger into a single
Little sliver of light
Every great civilization has a record
Of a period of a golden age, when there was
No war, no dispute, no lying
It's not by shunning darkness
That you'll know light
Not holy fields of wood alive, of stone alive
And up in the rooms of your barren house
You're reassembling language to
Keep realities out
I know your credentials
And I know you'll tell
In this game of reeds
In the logic of the spell
My burning attachment to contingencies
For who wills the end, may will the means
When it's only fools and firebrand
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
The books of law in the arsonist's hands
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care
(Kali Yuga, über alles)
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
