I broke the vein

I broke the vein
With a needle so long and sharp I know the way
Down into the dark
A night bird sings
I didn’t hear a thing and I broke the vein

I took the train
From Berlin to the sea I took the train
To harbors such as these
The engine steams
I’m trimming up my wings and I took the train

And stars will shine and the moon will light my way
And stars will shine and the moon will light my way

I cast away
The winters blister cold
My hands are bound in shackles made of gold
Ships going down
The captain calls to me, I cast away

And stars will shine and the moon will light my way
And stars will shine and the moon will light my way
And stars will shine and the moon will light my way
And stars will shine and the moon will light my way

March, your little feet
The soldiers in the sand
Beat your drum so loud and wave your golden flag
Let the trumpets play by God’s own wind and hand
Feel the fire come down upon the holy land

I broke the vein
With a needle so long and sharp I know the way
Down into the dark, a night bird sings
I didn’t hear a thing and I broke the vein
