Macht und dummheit


Lang schon bin ich auf der Welt
Als dass mir jeder Stand gefällt
Der König frisst, der Bettler hungert
Die Dirne vor dem Himmel lungert

Als Narr hab ich Spott und Zwietracht gesät
Hab als Priester um Erlösung gefleht
Weit haben mich die Füße getragen
Hört, hört mich sagen

Niemals
Ich werde nie ewig sein
Niemals
Dummheit wird mein Henker sein

Ich kenn' Menschen mannigfalt
Klein und groß, jung und alt
Im Himmel röstet diese Brut
Ergebenheit die schürt die Glut

Wo Macht und Luge Wahrheit tritt
Tut die Dummheit meist den ersten Schritt
In der Hölle ist das ParadiesReich an Tagen - hört mich sagen

Niemals
Ich werde nie ewig sein
Niemals
Dummheit wird mein Henker sein

Stumpfsinn wärmt des Thrones Lehne
Der Pfeil liegt auf der Sehne
Bereit zum Schuss mich zu strecken
Hab gewagt mein' Stolz zu wecken

Der Schutze zittert schweißdurchnässt
Ein Fingerzeig ihn warten lasst
Die Augen zu, er hält inne
Der Sonne glanz durchfährt die Sonne

Niemals
Ich werde nie ewig sein
Niemals
Dummheit wird mein Henker sein

Niemals, Niemals
Ich werde nie unsterblich sein

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

In Extremo is a German medieval metal band originating from Berlin. The band's musical style combines metal with medieval traditional songs, blending the sound of the standard rock/metal instruments with historical instruments (such as the bagpipes, harp, hurdy-gurdy and shawm). Versions of well-known traditional/medieval ballads make up the main part of their repertoire, but the band has written an increasing share of original material in recent years. Their own material is written in German, whilst the traditional songs are in a variety of languages, including Gaelic, Spanish, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, French, Estonian, Hebrew, Latin, Occitan, Old High German. Some of their most representative songs include: *'Mittelalterschlager*' , *'Komm, süßer Tod*' , *'In Extremo'*, *'Edda'* .
