Retaliate

Sewn on your brown book

Please be a part of this

fight back, it´s time to fight back

please be a part of this.

Retaliate.

***

Light goes out on the mountaintop

and we´re waiting, we´re still waiting.

Tattoo, tattoo on dead foot,

now we´ll retaliate, retaliate.

Please be a part of this,

be a part of this.

****

Walk along the river under trees.

If you don´t make a sound in the dark,

no one will hear and no one will see.

Hold on and push the boat.

Please be a part of this,

retaliate.

Blood of my blood

Thunder in thick Transylvanian air

think about wolves during the night

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

You can´t shave, and you can´t cut your hair

Cast no shadow and avoid the sunlight

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

A ship full of earth in boxes sails

South and sinks just off the shore

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

The captain curses the rain and the hail

but he can´t hear the storm anymore

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

The draft from the wondow, and the light burns blue

the light burns blue, what am I to do?

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

Singing in my ear and all around me

something very sweet, all around me

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

Here all night alone I stayed

I am, I am growing weaker

I am growing weaker, I am

Don´t leave her for one moment

if you do, you won´t sleep well thereafter

You won´t sleep well thereafter

Blood of my blood, blood of my blood

Churchloft

Það er hamingja í himinhvolfinu og á kirkjuloftinu

There is happiness in the blue heavens and in the little churchloft

og það eru flugur, suðandi flugur, sólskin og opnir gluggar

and there are flies ye, ye a buzzing flies ye, sunshine and open windows

Legsteinarnir molna mjög hægt og hundurinn mígur á vegginn

The tombstones are cracking slowly and the dog is pissing on the wall

Sofum nú smá, bara smá, hér á kirkjuloftinu

Let´s sleep a bit, just a bit, here in the little churchloft

Shipcracks

Skies on sea and shit from birds on the canopy.

Lying, sunbathing upon the deck, burning my neck.

I don´t remember if I´ve ever done anything else.

I´m listening to shipcracks and silence and seagulls, silence and shipcracks.

*

I have found new lands all the world around, all around

I have found new lands all the world around, all around.

Sails up, turn the wheel around and make a sound

and leave this gold above the ground, we´ll be here again when we´re old.

Blood on Lady Lawson

Knife and a hat

Blood on your roof

You pretend to be blind

It´s too early for you

Streams of blood on Lady Lawson street

Down, down on the street on Lady

on Lady Lawson, Lady Lawson street

I was walking up there early

before the sunrise, before the sunrise.

There were streams of blood, a knife and you didn´t see a thing

*

We share, we share nothing

I don´t, I don´t understand

We share, we share nothing

I don´t, I don´t understand

I can´t stand that you do what you do

Stan-Stan-the-caretakerman

cleaned the blood that down ran

Stan-Stan-the-caretakerman

cleaned the blood that down ran

The blood ran down, down, ran down.

*

Oh no, I saw you and I thought oh no

It can´t be, I can´t be a part of this

You smiled and whispered sweetly in my ear:

“There´s less than a minute between me and the night,

the one you love is already with me

She´s with me always, over land or sea

She´s always with me.”
