Rost und Knochen - Kaltland

from Left​/​Folk II: Resilience As Praxis by LEFT/FOLK

/

about

Notes of nuance: The First Verse is About Pegida, a right Wing Movement which started some Years ago. Verse 3 references to horrific event from 16 years ago when Oury Jalloh was jailed, beaten to Death and burned in a Police Station because he was black. The cop responsible is barely being held accountable this year. In verse 4, V Mann means Verfassungsschutz which is a federal agency and is now known to have been deeply involved in The NSU terror attacks.

lyrics

Kaltland

Ein neuer morgen für dieses Land.
Das deutsche zeigt wieder Gesicht.
Ist auf den großen platz gerannt und schreit "wir sind das Volk. Und die da nicht."

Am Mittagstisch reden sie viel:
"Die sollen ersaufen im Mittelmeer "
Und die nicht lachen bleiben still.
"Wenn die das kapieren kommen sie nicht her"

Abendlicht in deinem Cafe.
Die Gabel kratzt am Porzellan.
Die Frau die an dem Fenster steht klopft und sagt : "dessau war Mord. Menschenbrand. Braune Flecken in den Ämtern im V Mann Land. Sie sagen Einzeltater doch gehen Hand in Hand.

Jahre später erzählst du deinem Kind
Eine heldengeschichte für den Schlaf.
Es fragt, wo denn die ganzen Helden sind? Wo doch so viele feige waren.

Coldland

A new Dawn for this Country.
The German unveil their (true) Face.
They ran though the whole City and screamed: "we are The People, and These are not."


At Lunch they are talking a lot: "they Should drown in The sea!" The ones not laughing are Silent. "When they understand (what will happen to them ) they will stop Coming to us"

Sunset Light in your Coffee Shop.
The fork scratches on porcelain.
The woman outside Knocks and says: "Dessau was Murder. A burning of men."

Brown spots in The Agencies in this V Man Land.
They say Single Case but Walk Hand in Hand.

Years later you tell your Child.
A Story About Heroes for The Night.
The child asks where all the heroes are today, after so many have been cowards.
