Beethoven

There's a tremor in the city but it looks all quiet

There is something awful brewing but there ain't riots

Beethoven

You can read between the lines that there must be more

You're alarmed but you don't know what you're waiting for

Beethoven



Beethoven, the boots are back in town

When ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears

The skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe

It's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind

Beethoven



There's a scrawling on a tombstone

Judenschweine raus

Once again the racial fury is burning down the house

Beethoven

There's a bleeding yellow man lying in the streets

But there isn't anybody doing anything



Beethoven, the boots are back in town

When ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears

The skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe

It's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind



And one grey day shall rise the flood no dikes will stem the heavy tides

When cold pierced feathered bodies scream

They fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed them from the sky

The scattered squadron of mankind stabs right into the churned up ether

Of long forgotten birdless flights



Beethoven, the boots are back in town

The demons of the past will be replaced at last

There are smarter ones to stay, how can you stay away

From the order of disgrace, how can you close your eyes

Beethoven, the boots are back....



Gold/1993
