Translation
Heart
Says down, says in
Says into flesh and skin
Deep in the blood, deep in the mind
Like wind, I vanish
Like wind…
…I vanish
The heart counsels
The heart counsels
The heart counsels
(The rider of will)
The heart counsels
The heart counsels
The heart counsels
(The rider of will)
The heart counsels
(The rider of decisions)
The heart counsels
(The rider of will)
The heart counsels
(The rider of decisions)
The heart counsels
The rider of will
The heart counsels
The rider of decisions
In the core of everything
Drums a beat
The rudder on the ship of emotions
Of gold, of stone
Dance wildly without feet
Breaks without shattering
I sink
Into darkness
The gleaming white
My shell is shed
Only my core still stands
All alone
Without all bonds that bind
(I sink)
Without all bonds that bind
(Into darkness)
Like a seed
I find strength
In the mould and in the murk
(The gleaming white)
That which costs deeply, it rewards you deeply
(My shell is shed)
The heart counsels
The ruder of will
The heart counsels
The rider of decisions
I turn with the sun
Dance with the moon
I melt with the ice
I swim upstreams with the fish
Like a tree
I shed leaves
Like a fish returning home
I swim upstreams
From light to womb
I hibernate with bears!
I hibernate, I hibernate, I hibernate with bears!
I hibernate, I hibernate, I hibernate with bears!
I hibernate, I hibernate, I hibernate with bears!
I hibernate, I hibernate, I hibernate with bears!
The rider of will
(The heart counsels)
The rider of decisions
(The heart counsels)
Like new, I rise from the darkness
The gleaming white
The heart counsels
(The rider of will)
The heart counsels
(The rider of decisions)
