I kum nua her, um di a letztes Moi in Schlåf zum wiegen
I kum nur her, um da z′sogen wia foisch'd ollawei g′legen bist
I kum nua her, wei I dia s domois so vasprochen hob
I kum nur her, um da a letztes moi Lebwoi zum sogn

I hoff es is no ned z'spat, da mei Aufwartung zan mochn
I hoff I woa ned z'long weg, obwoi es dat mi a ned wundern
I hoff nur dasd ned glaubt host, I hätt′ di vorsätzlich valossn
Und I hoff einfoch nur, dass I iangwonn trotzdem wieda schlofn ko

I bin nur do, um vo jetzt bis in olle Zeit Totenwåch zan hoiten
I bin nur do, weilst as umgekehrt genauso g′mocht hättst
I bin nur do, um ernare fåssungslosen G'sichter z′seng
I bin nur do, um des Gråb z'seng des wos ma uns g′schauflt hom

I hob nur fost a weng Ångst,
Dass I hoid donn doch einfoch z'long weg woa
I hob nur fost a weng Ångst,
I hätt′ des ois vahindern kena wa I do gwen
I hob nur fost a weng Ångst,
Dass eh olle g'wusst hom, nur koana hod wos do
I hob nur fost a weng Ångst,
Du datst no do sei, hätt' mas oi ned hoitlos üwaseng

Los mi dein Schmerz für die trågn, dein Kummer und de Låst de di plågt
Los mi des ålles üwanemma, du host as eh scho weidaus z′weit zaht
Los mi di an Zeiten erinnern,
De a wonn nur kurz, weitaus sorgloser woan
Los mi einfoch dei Freind sei, nur no oa, ollerletztes moi...

Se glabn oi, dass erna oa Leben ned

Se glabn oi, se wissen wias gherat und hom doch no nia wirklich glebt
Se glabn oi,

Se glabn oi,
Das unsare Leben vüz kurz woan, nur so wias wia glebt hom...
...hom de poa Joah woi glongt...

Geh hoam mei Freund, jetzt is wirkli Zeit zum Åbschied nehma
Geh hoam mei Freund, koa Liacht ko heit dein Schåttn dimma




Geh hoam mei Freund, wir mirsn di jetzt zu Gråbe trågn
Geh hoam mei Freund, I hoff da Åbschied hoit nid oizu lång...

Best KARG´s song. I played it for hundred times! Still my most favourite KARG album. Pure masterpiece! Even better I have no idea what is JJ singing about, so everytime I can think about other things.

Skogen.

i agree

InDecemberOfficial

10:40 and beyond is perfection and the only possible outcome after 10 minutes of pure emotion.

miasma

Thanks AOP for great bands.

Romulo Vera Rivas

Uno de los buenos y brutales tracks de este álbum.

Nakajj

Me lembra minha banda preferida harakiri for the sky, eu amo essa atmosfera, sem igual.

Alexis Anez morales

Melancolic and poetic song !

Pappa Dieter

Wow, das hört sich gut an. Der Gesang und die Gitarre erinnern mich an Harakiri for the Sky. Die CD bestelle ich gleich!

Philipp Rook

Kein Wunder, das ist schließlich J.J. von Harakiri, Karg gibt's aber schon länger sogar 😉 Falls du es noch nicht getan hast, hör auch mal Seagrave an, ein anderes Projekt von J.J. ....oder Anomalie, die Hauptband von Marrock, dem Live Gitarristen von Harakiri 😉

Pappa Dieter

@Philipp Rook Harakiri habe ich schon öfter gesehen, auf dem PSOA 2017 habe ich JJ auch darauf angesprochen. Karg hab ich schon zweimal im From Hell gesehen, Anomalie auch. Seagrave kenne ich tatsächlich noch nicht, danke für den Tipp!
