MORNING WOLF
(lyrics are based on „Todesfuge“ by Paul Celan)

Black milk of daybreak we drink it at nightfall
we drink it at noon in the morning we drink it at night
we drink it and drink it
we are digging a grave in the sky where it’s roomy to lie
A man in the house he plays with the serpents he writes
he writes when the night falls to Deutschland your golden hair Margarete
he writes it and walks from the house the stars glitter he whistles his hounds to come close
he whistles his Jews out and orders a grave to be dug in the earth
he commands us to play the dance

Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night
we drink you in the morning at noon we drink you at nightfall
drink you and drink you
A man in the house he plays with the serpents he writes
he writes when the night falls to Deutschland your golden hair Margarete
Your ashen hair Shulamith we are digging a grave in the sky where it’s roomy to lie

He shouts stab deeper in earth you there and you others you sing and you play
he grabs at the iron in his belt and swings it and blue are his eyes
stab deeper your spades you there and you others play on for the dancing

Black milk of daybreak we drink you at nightfall
we drink you at noon in the mornings we drink you at nightfall
drink you and drink you
a man in the house your golden hair Margarete
your ashen hair Shulamith he plays with the serpents

He shouts play sweeter death’s music death comes as a master from Germany
he shouts stroke darker the strings and as smoke you shall climb to the sky
then you’ll have a grave in the clouds where it’s roomy to lie

Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night
we drink you at noon death comes as a master from Germany
we drink you at nightfall and morning
we drink you and drink you
a master from Germany death comes with eyes that are blue
with a bullet of lead he will hit in the mark he will hit you
a man in the house your golden hair Margarete
he hunts us down with his dogs in the sky he gives us a grave
he plays with the serpents and dreams
der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland

your golden hair Margarete
your ashen hair Shulamith.
