Coal Black Salt Lyrics

Coal black salt in your heart
Coal black salt is the higher art
Coal black salt in your eyes
Coal black salt in the summer sky so high
...so high, in the sky, so high

A fever dream
Pure and clean
Three symbols
Still unseen

Fever dreams
Raw and clean
Three symbols
Still unseen

"Schwarze Milch der Frühe, wir trinken sie Abends, wir trinken sie Mittags, Morgens und Nachts". - Paul Celan

Coal black salt bright blue blossom
Coal black salt I'm coming home
Coal black salt brimstone blossom
Coal black salt still unfold
Still unfold, in your pale history, -story
In your pale story

"Wir schaufein ein Grab in den Lüften, da liegt man nicht eng, dein goldenes Haar Margarethe. Er ruft streicht dunkler die Geigen, das steigt ihr als Rauch in die Luft, dein aschnes Haar Margarethe..." - Paul Celan

Coal black salt the secret fire
Coal black salt flames higher and higher
Coal black salt in your veins
Coal black salt forever remains, remains,
In your pale history, remains, remains

A childhood dream
Raw and clean
Seven seven, seven unseen
A childhood dream
Pure and clean
Seven seven, seven unseen
