Concerning the Rabble Songtext
Life is a well of delight
But the rabble poisons the well
Maggots devour their bread of life
Verily my spirit climbed to transcend their strife
The rabble are still yet a part
Not even a part to be denied
Have they driven you away?
I grew weary of my spirit as I found the rabble rich in spirit
I even turned my back on the rulers when I found that they bargained with the rabble
I dwelt with closed ears and strange tongues so their language would become alien
Thus have I long lived to avoid the rabble
Here on the loftiest height I partake in the well of delight
I discovered the source and now I drink away from the rabble
Through suffering and strife
Their lives refuted
"Only a fool remains alive"
So they tell us (Silenus)
Western Pessimism takes hold
The mob gets the final say
Thus the genius walks away
Back to the cave
But the rabble poisons the well
Maggots devour their bread of life
Verily my spirit climbed to transcend their strife
The rabble are still yet a part
Not even a part to be denied
Have they driven you away?
I grew weary of my spirit as I found the rabble rich in spirit
I even turned my back on the rulers when I found that they bargained with the rabble
I dwelt with closed ears and strange tongues so their language would become alien
Thus have I long lived to avoid the rabble
Here on the loftiest height I partake in the well of delight
I discovered the source and now I drink away from the rabble
Through suffering and strife
Their lives refuted
"Only a fool remains alive"
So they tell us (Silenus)
Western Pessimism takes hold
The mob gets the final say
Thus the genius walks away
Back to the cave
