Belfegore - Mensch Oder Gott - just saw a picture that reminded me of this album cover, so thought I’d revisit this sick track from 1983

my hand

Cherry-Coloured Funk

You’ll hang the hearts

Black and dull as the night

You hanged your past and start being

As you in ecstasy

Still being cried and laughed at before

Should I be sewn and hugged?

I can by not saying

Still being cried and laughed at

From light to blue

I should I be hugged and tugged down

Through this tiger’s masque?

No guts, no glory, no legend, no story.
