The Cannibal Banquets

Breathless and naked                                 snap awake, wake up
waiting in the dark                                     no fear, it's just a passing/wienen sie nicht, das ist nue
for the blow to come                                  Sanson I adore you/wake up, no fear it's just a passing
and crush my dreams                                 Havoc I adore you
for the ice to come
and freeze my heart                                  Der Mensch haben warmes rotes blut.
for the last time                                       Passing of time, must one adore
                                                                                       Pistole, pistole,
Circular light                                           Ich kann nicht shiessen!
illuminates flesh                                       Das Buregerblut, die Hure!
pale and splintered and begging sensation        Passing of time, one must adore
eyelids closed and lip is bitten
breath constricted in anticipation                   Der Mensch haben warmes rotes blut,
of the last time                                        das ist der ofen, now get in it
                                                          weinen sie nicht! Dast ist nue
Hold me down for one more penitent kiss         das ist der ofen, now get in it
and puncture the light                                leave your rags at the door
shadowing our skin                                    single file, come with me you will be new
and let me make a desperate wish
for the last time                                      Das Burgerblut, die Hure!
                                                         You are a whore, you are the blood of the people
Breathless and naked                               Das Burgerblut, die Hure!
waiting in the dark                                   Der Mensch haben warmes rotes blut
for the blow to come                                 Pistole, pistole!
and crush my dreams                                Ich kann nicht shiessen!
for the ice to come                                  Leave your rags at the door
and freeze my heart                                 Das ist der ofen, now get in it
for the last time                                      Das ist der ofen, now come with me
                                                        You will be new
Circular light                                        You will be new again
illuminates flesh                                    Das ist der ofen -Pistole Pistole -Das Burgerblut, die Hure!
pale and splintered and begging sensation      Der Mensch haben warmes rotes blut
eyelids closed and lip is bitten                    Der Mensch haben warmes rotes blut
breath constricted in anticipation
of the last time

Hold me down for one more penitent kiss
and puncture the light
shadowing our skin
and let me make a desperate wish
for the last time

Breathless and naked
waiting in the dark
for the blow to come
and crush my dreams
for the ice to come
and freeze my heart
for the last time

Circular light
illuminates flesh
pale and splintered and begging sensation
eyelids closed and lip is bitten
breath constricted in anticipation
of the last time

Hold me down for one more penitent kiss
and puncture the light
shadowing our skin
and let me make a desperate wish
for the last time

for the last time

for the last time

for the last time
