Kristallnaach*

Et kütt vüür, dat ich mein, dat jet klirrt,dat sich irjendjet en mich verirrt,e Jeräusch, nit ens lautmanchmol klirrt et vertrautselden su, dat mer't direk durchschautMer weed wach, rief die Aure un siehten'nem Bild zweschem Brueghel un Boschkei Minsch, dä öm Sirene jet jittweil Entwarnung nur half su vill kosset'rüsch noch Kristallnaach

En der Ruhe vür'm Sturm, wat ess dat?Janz klammheimlich verlööss wer die Stadt.Honratioren incognitohasten vorbei,offiziell sinn die nit jähn dobei,wenn die Volksseele - allzeit bereitRichtung Siedepunkt wütet un schreit"Heil - Halali" un grenzenlos geilnoh Vergeltung brüllt, zitternd vor Neidin der Kristallnaach

Doch die alles wat anders ess stührt,die mem Strom schwemme, wie't sich jehührt,für die Schwule Verbrecher sinn,Ausländer Aussatz sinnbrüchen wer, der se verführt.Un dann rettet kein Kavallerie,keine Zorro kömmert sich dodrömm.Dä piss höchstens e "Z" en der Schnieun fällt lallend vüür Lässigkeit öm:"Na un? - Kristallnaach!"

En der Kirch met dä Franz Kafka-Uhr,ohne Zeiger, met Striche drop nurließ ne Blinde nem TaubeStrubbelpeter vüürhinger dreifach verriejelter DüürUn dä Wächter 'mem Schlüsselbund hälltsich em Ähnz für jet wie e Jenie,weil'er Auswege pulverisiertun verkäuf jäjen Klaustrophobieen der Kristallnaach.

Währenddessen, am Maatplatz vielleich,unmaskiert, hück mem wohre Jesseechsammelt Stein, schlief et Mezzop die, die schon verpezzprobt dä Lynch-Mob für't Jüngste Jereech.Un zem Laade nur flüchtig vertäut- die Galeeren stonn längs unger Dampf -weet em Hafen op Sklaven jewaat,op dä Schrott uss dämm ungleiche Kampfuss der Kristallnaach

Do, wo Darwin fuer alles herhällt,ob mer Minsche verdriev oder quält,do, wo hinger Macht Jeld ess,wo stark sinn die Welt ess,von Kusche un Strammstonn entstelltWo mer Hymnen om Kamm sujar blööss,en barbarischer Gier noh Profit'Hosianna' un 'Kreuzigt ihn' rööf,wemmer irjend ne Vorteil drinn siehtess täglich Kristallnaach

Kristallnacht

Every now and then I think there's a clangourSomething's gone astray inside of meA noise, a very faint oneSometimes it has this familiar clangI can't usually identify right awayYou wake up, rub your eyes and seeIn a picture that's somewhere in between Brueghel and BoschPeople who don't care about the sirensBecause an "all-clear" is just around the cornerSmells like Kristallnacht1

In the calm before the storm - what is this?People leaving town on the quietDignitaries undercoverAre rushing pastThey don't like to be seen being a part of itWhen public opinion - always ready to goWith its anger reaching its boiling point, screaming"Heil - death halloo", riled up beyond any limitCrying for vengeance, trembling with envyDuring Kristallnacht

But those who feel disturbed by anything that's "different"Swimming with the tide, the way they're supposed toThose to whom gays are criminalsTo whom foreigners are scumThey need someone to mislead themWhen that happens, no cavalry's there to save the dayNo Zorro's there to careHe's just pissing a "Z" into the snowBabbling, falling, drunk with coolness"So what? - Kristallnacht!"

In the church with the Franz Kafka clockWithout hands, only hour marksA blind is reading'Shockheaded Peter' to a deafBehind a triply locked doorAnd the guard with the key chainConsiders himself some kind of geniusBecause he's grinding back doors into powderAnd sells it as a cure for claustrophobiaDuring Kristallnacht

All the while, at the market square perhapsUnmasked, wearing their true face tonightCollecting stones and sharpening their knivesFor those who have already been ratted outThe lynch mob is practicing for Judgment DayOnly provisionally moored for loading- The galleys under pressure already -They're waiting for slaves down at the harbourFor the rubble from that uneven fightDuring Kristallnacht

Where Darwin is an excuse for everything2Whether it's displacement or torture of peopleWhere money is the root of powerWhere being strong is all that countsDisfigured by cowering and standing to attentionWhere they're even playing hymns on a comb3In their barbaric hunger for profitFrom cheers to jeers4Whenever there's something to gainThey have their daily Kristallnacht
