about

("alrêst er dô gedâhte,
wer al die werlt volbrâhte,
an sînen schephære,
wie gewaldec der wære.
er sprach: 'waz ob got helfe phliget,
diu mînem trûren ane gesiget?
wart aber er ie ritter holt,
gediende ie ritter sînen solt
oder mac schilt unde swert
sîner helfe sîn sô wert
und rehtiu manlîchiu wer,
daz sîn helfe mich vor sorgen ner,
ist hiute sîn helflîcher tac,
sô helfe er, ob er helfen mac.'"

"Only now did he ponder
Who had brought the world into being,
only now think of his Creator
and how mighty He must be.
'What if God has such power to succour
as would overcome my sorrow?'
he asked himself.
'If He ever favoured a knight
and if any knight ever earned His reward
or if shield and sword and true manly ardour
can ever be so worthy of His help
that this could save me from my cares
and if this is His Helpful Day,
then let Him help, if help He can!'")
-Wolfram von Eschenbach / Parzival

lyrics

IV A DECENT MAN
A GOOD FRIDAY SPELL

There'll be no burdens to darken the green
A place of living brought an ordeal
Here's the coffin you know
Where are we going tonight, who'll ask
Hey, branches are trying to get out of there
And I'm fond of the weather

Yes, what a truth it was
You'd never seen me that silent
The wet evening street,
Vanity clear and stretching away
To work upon it coherent
Remember that line of old-fashioned lamps
I couldn't tell you anything, with a broken habit

And the grey wall followed in the left
I let it all rain down of course
And how long it took
Just a spell to get myself in order

I was right in that it works
And wrong in a few other things
The bleached and our resentment
Think it as a kind of secret
I've tried so much, and are you going
To watch these steps hoping that I'll grieve
