1 2 3#45

Brick after brick

I have plans, huge plans

I build you a house

Every brick is a tear

And you'll never move out again

Yes, I build a little house for you

Has no windows, no door

Inside it will be dark

No light passes through

Yes, I create a home for you

And you will be a part of it

Brick after brick I immure you

Brick after brick

I will always be at your side

Without clothes, without shoes

You watch me work

With the feeds in the cement

You improve the fundament

Outside there will be a garden

Und nobody hears you scream

Brick after brick I immure you

Brick after brick

I will always be at your side

What a knocking, what a hammering

Outside it is slowly getting dark

All nails are standing straight

When I ram them into your body1

Brick after brick I immure you

Brick after brick

And nobody hears you scream

1. The word "Leibholz" refers to the body, but its literal meaning is "body's wood". ("When I ram them into your body's wood") "Wood" has to be seen as an allegory.
