You'll do your work on water
And as to the slaughter
You'll be still, my heart
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein

With this our light umblemished
Our grief replenished
You hurt me so well
So come, when the bells shake our tower
Come, like drops on the martyred flower

Are you my solar Caesar? My true believer?
Solar Caesar, is it so?

Some nights we lie in wait
Some we take the bait
Some nights we call it a draw
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein

It's not my wound to suture
But I wonder what future your holy men saw
Your work has barely begun
So why did my heart not haste?
Come, in all of your festering rage
Are you my solar Caesar?
My true believer?
Solar Caesar, is it so?

Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein
Du wirst nie anders sein
