The Black Angel's Death Song

The Black Angel's Death Song - The Velvet Underground (地下絲絨)/Nico

The myriad choices of his fate

Set themselves out upon a plate for him to choose

What had he to lose

Not a ghost bloodied country all covered with sleep

Where the black angel did weep

Not an old city street in the east

Gone to choose

And wanderings brother walked

On through the night with his hair in his face

On a long splintered cut from the knife of G T

The rally mans patter ran on through the dawn

Until we said so long to his skull-shrill yell

Shining brightly red-rimmed and red-lined

With the time infused with

The choice of the mind on ice skates scraping chunks

From the bells

Cut mouth bleeding razors

Forgetting the pain antiseptic remains cool goodbye

So you fly

To the cozy brown snow of the east

Gone to choose choose again

Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget

Where you come from the stools of

Your eyes serve to realize fame

Choose again

And rovermans refrain of

The sacrilege recluse for

The loss of a horse went the bowels and a tail of a rat

Come again choose to go

And if epiphanys terror reduced

You to shame have

Your head bobbed and weaved choose a side to be on

If the stone glances off

Split didactics in two leave the colors of

The mouse trails don't scream

Try between if you choose

If you choose try to lose

For the loss of remain come and start

Start the game

I che che che che

I Che che ka tak koh

Choose to choose

Choose to choose choose to go
