Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, ihr Brueder der Nacht?
Was hat eure Haende blutrot
Der Ausbruch in der ist die Bluete des Leids,
mit ihr kann nichts sein.
Nicht zerschlagen sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die Form immerdar.
Unbeflecktes Bildnis, Lichter Pein,
Naechte Schutz allein
Des Geistes sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
Versprechen nicht zustande gebracht.
Wir sind schwarze Geister von Welt,

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 frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who suicide in December that year. I believe it was his
suicide note. It doesn't as a song on this album, only as a poem
(translated German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at least
three other Laibach albums. A version is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their for a theatre production). A studio version is
found on "Trans Slovenia Express", a 1994 collection of Slovenian
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the 1987 "Slovenska Akropola",
released in former only.)
(There is a much better English translation in the book "Neue
Kunst", but I don't it.)
