Nico — Nibelungen

[Verse 1] Since the first of you and me, asleep In a Nibelungen land Titanic curses trap me in At banishment of state Symbols vanish from my senses Dim and stale, the view appears [Verse 2] Symbols captured in a trance Vanish from my glance For the various defences I enforce a strike, the alarm For the various defences That choose to be here and there And lose the direction everywhere [Verse 3] Since the first of you and me, asleep In a Nibelungen land, where we cannot be Almond trees grow along the mountain trail From their tongues, the words are spelling They're telling numb I cannot hear it anymore I cannot hear it anymore [Verse 4] Since the first of you and me, here and there We lose the direction everywhere Shrieking city sun, shiver in my veins In flames I run In flames I run Waiting for the sign to come [Outro] Will you spell the words for me? Will you spell the words for me to hear? Nibelungen, nibelungen Nibelungen land
