Halcyon

Rammstein - Spieluhr [music box]




A small human only pretends to die


it wanted to be completely alone


the small heart stood still for hours


so they decided it was dead


it is being buried in wet sand


with a music box in its hand



The first snow covers the grave


it woke the child very softly


in a cold winter night


the small heart is awakened



As the frost flew into the child


it wound up the music box


a melody in the wind


and the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider


and no angel climbs down


my heart does not beat anymore


only the rain cries on the grave


up and down, rider


a melody in the wind


my heart does not beat anymore


and the child sings from the ground



The cold moon, in full magnificence


it hears the cries in the night


and no angel climbs down


only the rain cries on the grave



Between hard oak boards


it will play with the music box


a melody in the wind


and the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider


and no angel climbs down


my heart does not beat anymore


only the rain cries on the grave


up and down, rider


a melody in the wind


my heart does not beat anymore


and the child sings from the ground



Up and down, rider


my heart does not beat anymore



On Totensonntag they heard


this melody from god's field


then they unearthed it


they saved the small heart in the child



Up and down, rider


a melody in the wind


my heart does not beat anymore


and the child sings on the ground


up and down, rider


and no angel climbs down


my heart does not beat anymore


only the rain cries on the grave







These lyrics own my ass in half, but the chorus (from up and down, rider stanza) sounds awesome in the song. Drama.



EDIT: Not much of a reason to edit, but some info anyway... "Totensonntag" translates to "Sunday of the dead". This is a holiday celebrated on the last Sunday before Advent in November. It is the day when protestant christians remember their dead. -Crayne
