Once upon a time, god declared:
I am the one and only master
I won't tolerate any other gods
You shalt worship me and nobody else
Don't say my name for no reason at all
Crucify yourself six days, stay at home at day seven
I created heaven and earth and the sea,
Once a week you shalt thank me for that
Honour thy parents, so you will live long
In this country given by the Lord!
Thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal
And thou shalt not cheat your wife
Thou shalt not lie and tell wrong things
Chose a faithful and righteous path in life:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife or house
Nor anything that is the neighbor's.
If I were you, dear Lord,
And you were me, dear Lord
Do you think, I would be that severe with you?
If I were you, dear Lord,
And you were me, dear Lord
Would you obey the commandments,
Just because of me?
God was desperate as he had seen,
his children failed every day again.
He sent us his son for salvation
But he died in vain, because nothing changed.
And every warning, every threat that came from heaven
Went unheard by the Lambs of God.
And everyday we fail again and again...
And everyday we fail again and again...
If I were you, dear Lord,
And you were me, dear Lord
Do you think, I would be that severe with you?
If I were you, dear Lord,
And you were me, dear Lord
Would you obey the commandments,
Just because of me?
As usual, my translation:
