Kein Mitleid

my English translation:

Your hands are dirty You lie in filth Your tears are coming Rise up and wipe them away You try to breathe It falls so heavily Every thought a still-birth Your view so empty You suspect, you feel that you are nothing in paradise there is no place for you You whimper about mercy at the end of your time Everything grieves you Where is your God Great and powerful When will His kingdom come Cold and splendid Begin to pray and be quiet No pity Your lips are bloody You make yourself wet You belong to insanity and your face is very pale You try to think Totally upset Every promise that was important to you is worth nothing more Do you believe the leaf will still change itself Do you want this madness to end You whine for mercy Everything grieves you You pray to God but God has No time, no time, no pity

I think this song could be seen in two ways: The standard "Where is your God" Nieztsche-style antithiest song(bleh). That's what's apparent. But I think, especially in the last line (God has no time or sympathy), that it's about someone who's been decadent their whole lives, and then when it matters most, they want to "turn over a new leaf", with no type of repentance, remorse, etc.
