ANTONIUS BLOCK (english)
I am filled with Fear and Disgust
I want to confess my Loyaulty
But my Heart is empty
The Emptiness is a Mirror turned
Towards my own Face
And I, Antonius Block
Am playing Chess with Death
Through my Indifference to my Fellow Men,
I have isolated Myself from their Company
And I, Antonius Block
Am playing Chess with Death
I am filled with Fear and Disgust.
Now I live in a World of Phantoms.
I am imprisoned in my Dreams and Fantasies.
And yet you
don't want to die
Yes, I do.
What are you waiting for?
Knowledge
I want to tear
God out of my Heart
I call out to Him
In the Dark
But no one
Seems to be there.
And I play Chess
with Death
ANTONIUS BLOCK (french)
Je suis pris de dégoût et d'épouvante
Je veux confesser ma loyauté
Mais mon cœur est vide
Le vide est le miroir de mon visage
Et moi, Antonius Block
Je joue aux échecs avec la mort
Mon mépris des hommes
M'a éloigné de leur communauté
Et moi, Antonius Block
Je joue aux échecs avec la mort
Je suis pris de dégoût et d'épouvante
Je vis dans un monde de fantômes
Prisonnier de mes rêves
Et pourtant
tu ne veux pas mourir ?
Si, je le veux
Alors qu'attends-tu ?
La connaissance
Je veux chasser Dieu de mon cœur
Des ténèbres
je l'appelle
Mais il n'y a personne
Et moi, je joue aux échecs
avec la mort

ANGST (english)
Anguish has a dominion that's asian
It’s matured during immature years.
In my heart it’s a daily feeling,
as if mainlands each day disappear.
But my anguish must be turned into longing,
and into visions of dread and distress.
I have longed for mid-ocean disasters
and for vandalism and sudden death.
I have longed for Cities on fire
And for Human races in exile,
For break-ups the whole world was cursed by
And an Earthquake known as God’s Scourge.
ANGST (french)
Asiatique par son empire est l'angoisse
Elle mûrit au long des années immatures
Et je sens tous les jours dans mon cœur
Comme des continents qui chaque jour s'évanouissent
Mais mon angoisse doit expier par le désir
Et des visions d'horreur et de misère
J'ai ardemment désiré des catastrophes en mer
Des ravages, et la mort subite
J'ai ardemment désiré des villes en feu
Et les races humaines en exil
Des séparations qui frapperaient la terre entière
et un Séisme que l'on appelerait le châtiment de dieu
