| We are entering the operation theatre of the familiar morgue
The student nurses are making a lot of noise
Their voices echo from the bare tiles walls
I improvise a fainting fit
"I cannot bare these voices anymore!"
The tiny spineless spider, who really is a dog
Has hurt herself - or did she get hurt ?- something 'bout her back
Oh, does she need a new one?
Torso-less she onlydoes consist of legs
Much like a crushed little cross, a tiny crucifix
So cautiously she's stalking now across the palm of my right hand
Merely a thin branch in the wind touching the wound
Where i had cut my finger
I hand her over to the nurses, one of them- directed me by the teacher
Carries out theoperation, for which I don't have the knowledge
One day everyone here must fulfil this very task alone
As it's the only way to learn and in the end become a master
Yes, this means responsibility
And it's connected directly to stress and fear
The little spider has her operation on a table
That is decorated like a forest, all with thicket and fir trees
And right beside the flashing lights and displays of the instruments
So hear now of the very scene that happend right before this here
An elephant on the plane roof of a tall cathedral very close to the edge
"Climb down his tail, as if it were a rope!
Have faith and confidence, believe that he will hold you!"
But the elephant is not anchored in the ground
Yes, he might have the will to remain in position
Perhaps doing everything within his power to hold me
Not to slip and fall himself
But in my opinion this is hardly enough
Can this be a question of trust,
At all?
Looking out of the window, while the underground moves down into the tunnel
A man who has already passes the elephant-test, says:
"Fear must be conquered, boy!
Many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!"
"Fear must be conquered, boy!
Many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!"
"Fear must be conquered, boy!
Many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!" |
