Was hat eure Haende gemacht?
Der Ausbruch in der ist die Bluete des Leids,

Nicht zerschlagen sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar

Bildnis, Lichter ohne Pein,
schauriger Schutz allein
Des Geistes Kinder sind wir und der Nacht,
deren Versprechen zustande gebracht.
Wir sind schwarze von dieser Welt,
besingen des Kummers verrueckte
Die Erlaeuterung ist die Peitsche, und du tropfest
Zum hundertsten Male der Spiegel der Welt,

("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the Slovenian
version is called) was written in 1982 by then of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed suicide in December year. I believe it was his
suicide note. It doesn't appear as a song on this album, as a poem
(translated German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at least
three other Laibach albums. A live version is found on "Baptism - Pod
Triglavom" (their for a theatre production). A studio version is
found on "Trans Express", a 1994 collection of Slovenian bands
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the 1987 "Slovenska Akropola",
released in former only.)
(There is a much better English translation in the "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I have it.)
