Die Hoffnung - I Was Born a Long Time Ago lyrics

Farther was slime; Mother, a flash of light I bathed in brine Swam through lifetimes 'Scaped brainless bliss Famine, fangs, viciousness Learned to sing Learned lies, sophistry I suffered Murdered Discovered Betrayed Labored Murdered Honored Plundered Murdered And wake today Will I seize this day or waste it away?
