Des Kinder sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
deren Versprechen zustande gebracht.
Wir sind Geister von dieser Welt,

("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the original
version is called) was in 1982 by then frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed suicide in December that year. I it was his
suicide note. It appear as a song on this album, only as a poem
(translated into German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at
three other Laibach albums. A version is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their score for a theatre production). A studio is
found on "Trans Slovenia Express", a 1994 collection of bands
covering songs, and on the 1987 album "Slovenska Akropola",
in former Yugoslavia only.)

Kunst", but I have it.)
