Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

storm lied - The Doors (1971) vs Dietrich Eckart (1919-23)

Riders on the storm
Germany, awaken! Awaken!
Woe to the people that is still dreaming today!
Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm!

Ring the bells from tower to tower!
Blustering the dragon smashes it to pieces!
Under the thunder of liberating vengeance!
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Riders on the storm
Take him by the hand
Into this house we're born
Riders on the storm

Girl you gotta love your man
Bloody red the sky stands in flames,
Into this world we're thrown
The air shall clang and cannonade,
Our life will never end
Like a dog without a bone
Call the storm, now or never!
Judas appears to win the Reich!
Greed for gold in the hideous bed!

The world on you depends
Let your children play
With only burning, torture and murder around,
An actor out on loan
Ring the men, the old and the young,
Ring the dead out of their grave!
Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm!
Folly and lie has broken its chain,
Make him understand
Blow for blow on the chapel they crash!

The serpent is let loose, the wyrm of hell!
An actor out on loan
Ring the bells from tower to tower!
Ring the girls down the stairs,
Germany, awaken! Awaken!
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
Gruesomely the gables crash together,

Girl you gotta love your man
Take a long holiday
Ring until the ropes turn red from blood,
Riders on the storm
Killer on the road
Ring until sparks begin to fly,

Ring the mothers away from the cradles!
Riders on the storm
Sweet family will die
If you give this man a ride
Ring the bells from tower to tower!
Rushing forth in the thunder of vengeance!
Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm! Storm!

Riders on the storm
Germany, awaken! Awaken!
Gotta love your man
Into this house we're born
Riders on the storm
Like a dog without a bone
Ring the storm until the earth rises,
Into this world we're thrown
Riders on the storm
Ring the sleepers out of their parlours,
