Isolation Songtext
von 1919

The temperature is falling
The tide is coming in
We flee in a sinking ship
Throw caution to the wind
The captain blind with alcohol
Steers straight into a glacier
In nationalist frenzy
Shackled to the mast

And I hope your flag keeps you warm
You′ll be a lucky man
Enjoy your isolation
Thrashing with the drowning rats

A childhood memory
Your wedding day
Mazel Tov
Your high school graduation
Flashes by in seconds

Enjoy your isolation


The demagogue is gasping
For air a mile deep
See how the mighty fall
Even rabid wolves can weep
Apostles clutch at dead wood
Lie drifting on the surface
The others fled so now what?

God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead

Sanctity in a familiar face
Never escape from your cage
Dressed head to toe in your clothes
Your windows and doors, they stay closed

And I hope your flag keeps you warm
You'll be a lucky man
Enjoy your isolation
Thrashing with the drowning rats

A childhood memory
Your wedding day
Mazel Tov
Your high school graduation
Flashes by in seconds

Enjoy your isolation
