- Master’s Hammer - Stage 1. Scene 1. (Cards Do Not Lie) Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Among the hills a winding way
- I am going to meet my education
- be it a patch of my gaps
- from happiness already turns red the face !
- The way of knowledge is full of thorns
- how to separate grain from chaff ?
- A castle tower welcomes me from far
- with its copper battlement.
- Already a good piece of walk behind me
- behold, a wooden Gasthaus there,
- and the inscription says "ZUM SPIRITUS"
- - its very name so nicely sounds !
- My luggage here being so heavy
- and full of books,
- please, take them up
- I want to sleep in the attic...
- And do quickly serve the table
- I ate in Prague for the last time
- and some sort of Spirits too,
- which would raise the humour !
- Who is taking seat beside me ?
- Greeting me by my name ?
- Maybe a hundred years old woman
- - that makes me feeling shocked !
- And suddenly I see cards spread out
- on a little table here
- in a room filled with smoke
- of pure hemp !
- My supreme consternation
- about her knowing my past
- however, I want to know perfectly
- what will give the future to me ?
- [the fortune-teller:]
- "Here the king and next the knave."
- [Atrament:]
- "What does it mean ?"
- "A high born gentleman will lick your back."
- "And what comes next ?"
- "Ha, ha, if you order brandy, we hear in no time
- whether you shall have your head on the log,
- or a good fortune on your knees !"
- Old hag, I am fed up with your talks,
- I am an occultist !
- Thought not seeing through the cards,
- but I know how to do with life:
- And in the bar a vermilion notice:
- ET ZUM SPIRITUS TUO
- I shall prefer to sing a duet
- with my own tumbler !
- As a flash from the clean sky
- struck by the phantom of
- a beautiful gril
- in my eyes there sticks
- the glance of her eyes
- and those clear forms of her hips
- We spent in waking all the night
- and the bed empty in the morning
- when the little Table bestowed
- at the exorcising right enough !
