THE GREAT ABSOLUTION
Fireworks de luxe shoot now high in the sky
The great absolution has arrived
Eyes are still looking for the biggest bowl
While legs already gallop away
All becomes holier than ever
‘Cause all becomes cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived
Who is not with us, will be under us
Who’s given hands, it’s time for You to grab
For 30 silver pieces the fame here is sold
Truth is rented and felicity subscribed
The beauty of You comes now almost for free
Anyone in their way will be erased
You look holier than ever
‘Cause You give Yourself cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived
My sister, why don’t we stay together from now on
My sweet heart, You give me the biggest income of all
Through sunny courtyards
People floating like a dark cloud
Masses of sacred
Marching to their promised land
The streets are crowded with people in their Sunday best
Holding inflated gum gods high in their hands
One’s pale and lifeless, the other’s blood-red
So much out of breath as if he’s to explode
You whisper softer than ever
But it scares me more than ever
The great absolution has arrived
See the cross so shining in our high outstretched hands
Isn’t it just a trademark of a department store

LIELĀS ATLAIDES
Latvian version of the song “The Great Absolution”.
Krāšņāko salūtu debesīs šauj
Lielās Atlaides ir klāt
Acis vēl meklē, kur lielākais trauks
Bet kājas jau auļo prom
Viss kļūst svētāks un svētāks
Jo viss kļūst lētāks un lētāks
Lielās Atlaides ir klāt
Kas nav ar mums, tas būs zem mums
Kam rokas ir, lai grābj
Par 30 sudraba grašiem slavu pirkt
Laimi izīrēt un taisnību abonēt
Skaistums Tavs vispār tikpat kā par brīvu
Kurš ceļā stāsies, tam cauri tie ies
Tu izskaties svētāk un svētāk
Jo atdodies lētāk un lētāk
Lielās Atlaides ir klāt
Mums jābūt kopā uz mūžiem
Tu nes man peļņu, mās
Caur saulainiem pagalmiem
Peld ļaudis kā mākon’s
Tūkstošiem svēto
Ejam pārgājienā
Iet ielās ļaudis svētku drānās
Piepūstus gumijas dievus augstu rokās tur
Cits bāls kā līķis, cits asinssārts
Pūš dievos dvašu tā, ka pats tūdaļ sprāgs
Bet Tu stāsti maigāk un maigāk
Man kļūst baigāk un baigāk
Lielās Atlaides ir klāt
Vai krusts mūsu izstieptajās rokās
Jau sen nav kāda dižveikala vidējais burts?

FERNFAHRERTRAUM
The German version. Latvian - “Tālbraucēja Šofera Sapnis”, English - “Long-Haul Trucker’s Dream”.
Volke von Flieder, such ein Gewand dir
Das deiner Schőnheit nicht verbirgt
Mach einen Schritt das der Glanz deiner augen
Űber die ganze Welt hin erstrahlt
Atme die Kűhle, die Frische des Morgens
Setz einen blauen Falter ins Haar
Űber die Wiese im Tau komm zum letzten
Zum letzten Mal komm leise zu mir
Nie werd’ ich dich wiedersehen
Nie mehr werde ich dich spűren
Nie mehr wirst du mich verfűren
Nie.. Nie.. Nie mehr..
Taufeuchte Gräser und glitzernde Spinnweben
Samml ich behutsam von deiner Haut
Verdreh mich noch einmal den Kopf mach mich schwindlig
Von violetten Schwaden berauscht
Flűstre ins Ohr mir, weshalb heute Morgen
Deine Wangen so nass sind vom Tau
Lass mich zum letzten Mal dich betrachten
Fűr immer wirst du mein Lieblingstraum sein
Nie werd’ ich dich wiedersehen
Nie mehr werde ich dich spűren
Nie mehr wirst du mich verfűren
Nie.. Nie.. Nie mehr..
Ewigkeiten.. Bis Morgen frűh..
Die Nacht wird vergehen, Entfernungen schwinden
Un d es verzieht sich der Diesel Geruch
Es dämmert der Morgen, ich schliesse die Augen
Und dann träum’ich meinen Fernfahrertraum
