‘The Cosmic Bargain’ “Alles ist genug
Nichts ist zu viel"
Lyric No. 15
OBEDIENCE IN DOWNPOUR
Lethal catharsis
Primal scream from the darkness
Unassuming and artless
As usual
CHORUS:
Is it all over
‘Cause we didn’t get nowhere
For we can get but lower
Or virtual
Refr.: I have never been a great pretender
I didn’t expect you to love me tender
All I ever needed was to be needed
That’s why I feel so unjustly defeated
Total disaster
And nothing comes thereafter
Final word from the master
Out of the blue
CHORUS:
Was time a fiction
An unfulfilled prediction
Prone to ruse and addiction
Without a view
Refr.: I have never been a staunch believer
I didn’t beseech you to give me fever
All I ever wanted was to be wanted
That’s why I feel so unlawfully hunted
Mortal delusion
Love can’t restore the fusion
It’s the ball of confusion
No way out
CHORUS:
Weren’t we enough nice
Always paying the grand price
Easygoing and clockwise
Wild and proud
Refr.: I have never been a true deserter
I didn’t bother you to push me further
All I ever loved was the love of hatred
That’s why I feel so goddamn outdated
Bloody salvation
The train’s stuck at the station
No more blank generation
No soul to sell
CHORUS:
Is there no future
Since we’re infirm to feature
A superior creature
Under the spell
Refr.: I have never been a poor redeemer
I didn’t implore you to turn me sweeter
All I ever dreamed of was to be dreaming
That’s why I feel so desperately leaving
EMITTE SPIRITUM TUUM
“Don’t worry Jew/It’s only in you”
