Einsturzende Neubauten - How Did I Die? lyrics

I was in a crater pockmarked fields on either side I was meant to be all safe How did I die? How did I die? or didn’t I? Un sursaut, une crispation, mon corps soudain comme vouiant s’engloutir dans la terre. How did I die? How did I die? or didn’t I? Didn’t I die at all? I fell into a ditch inside an A7V on the end facing Mephisto is it's name How did I die? How did I die? or didn’t I? Ein schwarzes Biest ein Splitterregen über den Bäumen zerspringt und niedergeht How did I die? How did I die? or didn’t I? Didn’t I die at all? Now there is only that sinister brown belt, a strip of murdered Nature. It seems to belong to another world. Every sign of humanity has been swept away. The woods and roads have vanished like chalk wiped from a board; of the villages nothing remains but gray smears where stone walls have tumbled together. A confused ma** of troubled earth. Columns of muddy smoke spurt up continually as high explosives tear deeper into this ulcered area.

How did I die? I fell from the sky or didn’t I? I filled my mouth with water so the bullet could suceed How did I die? How did I die? Did I die by my own hand? or didn’t I? How did I die? Or didn’t I die at all? How did we die? or didn’t we? didn’t we die at all? We didn't die We didn’t die We are back with a different song We didn’t die We didn’t die We’re just singing a different song we are back with a change of weather ein anderer Wind, ein neues Lied We didn’t die We didn’t die We give you a different song okookookookooskrookookookookoo the difference is in the song okookookookooskrookookookookoo — difference makes the song We didn’t die We didn’t die We didn’t die We didn’t die
