Das elfte Gebot

The Eleventh Commandment

The last battle has been fought
Lead-gray haze moves over the barren land
You lie there on a litter1
Next to you the Grim Reaper is grinning
He speaks to you, asks for the truth,
How you're doing and whether you're happy
 
Because the Eleventh Commandment bids you to live
As if death awaited you tomorrow, as if is death already upon you2
Yes, that's what's written in the Eleventh Commandment
 
The Ten Commandments written in stone
The Reaper speaks his judgment
God is dead, only I remain
And my Commandment is the Eleventh
 
Because the Eleventh Commandment bids you to live
As if death awaited you tomorrow, as if death is already upon you
Yes, the Eleventh Commandment bids you to love
And to enjoy burning brightly
Yes, that's what's written in the Eleventh Commandment
The Eleventh Commandment
 
Nothing eternal is dead
Until time defeats death
 
Because the Eleventh Commandment bids you to live
As if death awaited you tomorrow, as if is death already upon you
As if tomorrow, death is already upon you
As if tomorrow, death is already upon you
 
Yes, the Eleventh Commandment bids you to love
And to enjoy burning brightly
Yes, that's what's written in the Eleventh Commandment
  • 1. the modern term is "stretcher," but this is more consistent with the medieval theme
  • 2. This is a bit of creative license here, but I think it sounds more poetic than the more literal phrases I could come up with.
