Soap&Skin – Vater Lyrics 12 years ago
there are not only hints to the "kindertotenlieder" but also to the poem "funeral blues" by w.h.auden which starts similarly to "vater":

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

the poem can be seen here http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/poems/auden.stop.html, it has even been sung: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slDNSH7a84c.
