Current song lyrics
[Dedicated to A. M. Klein (1909-1972)]<br><br>Hurt once and for all into silence.<br>A long pain ending without a song to prove it.<br>Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,<br>When you glinted in every eye the held-high<br>razor, shivering every ram and son?<br>And now the silent loony bin, where<br>The shadows live in the rafters like<br>Day-weary bats,<br>Until the turning mind, a radar signal,<br>lures them to exaggerate<br>Mountain-size on the white stone wall<br>Your tiny limp.<br>How can I leave you in such a house?<br>Are there no more saints and wizards<br>to praise their ways with pupils,<br>No more evil to stun with the slap<br>of a wet red tongue?<br>Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror<br>and rest because he had finally come?<br>Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.<br>I have entered under this dark roof<br>As fearlessly as an honoured son<br>Enters his father´s house.
