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
