First floor
where the blind men live
who belive in what they see
and the doves
who believe in what they hear,
tied to a kitchen chair
there is a maniac, who believes
in what he can touch
(his hands on his legs)
Second floor
roll for roll
lenght for length
woodchip wallpaper
lodgers are standing in the corridor
attentively starring at the walls
lenght for lenght
searching for typos and misprints
but coulddn't even make out their own name
Let's get to the next floor
which, o wonder!, hasn't been finished yet
only accessible by stairway

-
the falsity here is property of the company
they tile the floor with it
and nobody is allowed to near himself to them
4th floor
here is the home of the architect
succeeds in his plans
this bilding is filled with ideas
it ranges from fundament to canopy
and from fundament to company
in the ground floor
there are four doors
they lead out-of-doors
or rather to the headstone
here's the place to wait for everyone who wants to
concrete's coming 12 o'clock
groundbreaking ceremony
train of thoughts aborted
at face level fascistic
infamous or catholic violet
for better orientation
Attic
the roof is damaged
there's an old man sitting in the truss
death angels are laying on the ground
(they look similar to him)
he holds a gun between his legs
and aims for his mouth
and inside the head
and outside the head
and through the head
the bullet soaks
god has shot himself
the attic gets extended
god has shot himself
the attic gets extented
lie, lie
the attic gets extended
(Epilogue
Basement:
this is a cellar
here do I live
this is the darkness
wet and comfortable
this is a castle)
So the lyrics in english: (I try my best)

@pORG13i "Und die Tauben die nur glauben was sie hören" That "Tauben" would be "deaf men" and not "doves"

@pORG13i the last word “Schoß” is not “castle” (“ Schloß”), but “womb”, which gives a complete different meaning to the last verse.
