Einstürzende Neubauten - Stella Maris

I dream that I meet you deep under
the deepest place of the Earth, Atlantic trench, seafloor

Between Nanga Parbat, K2 and Everest,
the roof of the world, there I'll give you a celebration
Where I can no longer see forward
If you come, I'll see you come from the edge of the world

There is nothing interesting here
Just the ruins of Atlantis

But no sign of you
I believe you come no more

We have passed each other in dream

You dream of me, I of you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake yourself

Over the ice, directly to the North Pole, that's where I'll wait
I'll stay on the world's axis

From the Pacific Rim in hard dream-work to the Pole
will I hurry and wait again

The north star is directly over me

This is the pole, I was here
Only you can search far and wide until we see each other

I was at the wrong pole

We have passed each other in dream

You dream of me, I of you
Don't worry, I'll find you
Before you wake yourself

Please, please don't wake me
As long as I dream, you exist...

You dream of me, I of you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake yourself

Let me sleep the year away on a ship
Course: El Dorado, Punt, that is your home town
I was on the coast, searching the horizon
until I finally see you, I'll sail there

But the captain is drunk
and mostly under the deck
Even in dream, I can't steer the ship
The clipper hits something, we take on water
We sink in the North Sea
An iceberg drives us down

I believe I am stranded
Punt remains unexplored

We have passed each other in dream

You dream of me, I of you
Don't worry, I won't wake you up
Before you wake yourself
You dream of me, I of you

Don't worry I'll find you
Halfway through this dream, I'll seize you
and draw you to me
then you'll dream of me, I of you
I dream of you, you of me
We dream of each other until we wake.
