What Is The Benefit Of This

from Requiem - Falling Out Of Time by Christoph Buchwald

lyrics

6. What Is The Benefit Of This (The Centaur)
I’m standing here, I’m standing stable, with four feet on the ground,
I’m half a man and half a table, I’m the Centaur of the Count,
And I say to myself and to all you fuddled walkers:
You circlers, you bipeds and friends.
And I’m shouting in silence to you, who hear voices,
Who’re walking in circles to the ones you miss;
Yes, I’m shouting and stammering to you in your walk-night:
Go home, take off your shoes, no resurrections to report.
I’m standing here, I’m standing stable, all four legs on the ground.
I’m half a man and half a table, I’m the Centaur of the Crown,
And I pray to myself and to all you crazy walkers,
You night-cats, you dazed and confused.
Yes, I’m shouting and stammering to you in your blindness:
Run home, take off your shoes – and your soup is getting cold.
And how can you believe –
How can you believe –
How can you have faith
in the benefit of this?
How can you believe –
And why do you believe –
How can you believe to find peace and quiet,
To find peace and quiet,
To find peace
In your sleep?
