Mediaeval Baebes - So Spricht Das Leben

So sayeth life, the world is mine
The flowers that bloom and the song of the birds
I am the daylight and the sunshine
So spricht das Leben, the world is mine

So sayeth death, the world is mine
Your daylight is but vein display
Stars and moon sink in eternal night
So spricht das Tod, the world is mine

So sayeth life, the world is mine
You make great tombs of marble and stone
But love, you can never entomb
So spricht das Leben, the world is mine

So sayeth death, the world is mine
I have made a tomb for all mankind
And created pestilence and war
So spricht das Tod, the world is mine

So sayeth life, the world is mine
Every grave is a plot of land
Into which my eternal seeds do fall
So spricht das Leben, the world is mine
