Lyrics

Greed
[Geiz]

“A joyful black swing, swaying in the dusk wind.”

Swing. Swing. Swing with the wind.
Dance, black swing...

“Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing...”


I was born in a poor village and always had an empty stomach
If there really was a house made of sweets, that’d be mighty nice

“People can only be saved by faith”

Some great chap once said; I hear tell ‘twas written in some book
If God really would save me, I reckon I could eat t’ my heart’s content

Our folks went out with sickles in hands
The sky’s color on that day was sorrowfully red...
(“This is for the village!” “This is all for our families, everyone, let’s go!” “We’re gonna come back!” “Don’t be worryin’ ‘bout us now!” “We’re gonna have to part sooner or later.”)

“After General Gefenbauer-----!”

When the cannons roar「even without wings」people roam the skies「high and light」It’s a war in name only, a true massacre
Ah, with farm tools as weapons 「that’s too bad」their ranges are too short 「cruelly so」It’s a war in name only, a true massacre

Most o’ the workers in the village didn’t come back...

“And I was sold t’ a faraway city.”

Age: Unknown. Gender: Unknown. Experiences: Scandalous. Truly a life of disgrace.
The suspicious landlady is secretly active night after night in this inn.
Its name is “Black Fox Bower”!

“One dirty old woman past her prime.
To live on while keeping a straight face...isn’t all sunshine and roses!”

“All my beloved men broke fragilely.
Is it my luck, or is it just this era...”
“Ah, Müntzer was noble,
Hutten was flamboyant,
Sickingen was, ah, more passionate than anyone else ♡”
(“Hey there, I’ll be intruding upon your hospitality.”
“Go back if yer intrudin’.”)

“Landlady, landlady! Hey, ye damned ol’ woman!”
“What now~?♡”
“The customer’s a-waitin’.”
“Geez, shut it!
I was at a good place!”
“Seriously...”

“I wonder, who was it that took in a backwater girl like you?
So..watch your mouth!”
(“Alrighty. alrighty”)

“Come on in, sir. How about some warm beer?” (“Hmm...” “It’s good.”)
“Let me serve you our joy and pride, the best liver cuisine!” (“Alright!” “Yeah”)
(“Oh, I see. I’ll have some then!”)

“Ahhh shit!”

Glarin’ at the landlady who flew out into the dusk
The customer was angry, and I tried apologizin’
(“Hey, hey, what’s goin’ on here? Ain’t this a bar!?”
“What’re ye sayin’? ‘tis an inn, sorry.”)

-And one hour later...

The landlady came back, uncarin’ o’ the atmosphere
In her hands, she carried fresh ingredients fer atonement
(“Everyone! I kept you waiting!”
“There she is! Where were you!?”
“It’s a liver sent straight from the farm! Ohohoho!”
“Ohh, nice!”)

At the smell o’ that, the customer, mad with anger, regained his good mood
And the landlady, who added the flavors, continued her rampage...
(“Man, that was really good! Ah, how wonderful! I never thought I’d be able to eat cuisine like this in such a backwater town, hahaha!”
“Well, sorry fer bein’ backwater!”)

“Ohohoho!
If we don’t have a corpse, we can just make one!
I’m sick of that, sick of being poor...and hungry...
I don’t want to feel miserable like that again!”

“I tried my hardest to live, but nothin’ ever went my way.
So in the end, what’s up with life...I don’t get it...”


“I see, so that’s how you were hung. Regrettably, for a crime you don’t remember ever committing.
Fact or fiction, things that were taken are things to be regained.
Now, let the revenge tragedy begin!”

“Give back my liver...”

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaah!”


“Even if one tries to make money in cheap ways, it wouldn’t go over so well, huh.”
“It’d be strange if a sloppy plan like that went well. Ufufufufu!!”

「宵闇の風に揺れる、愉快な黒いぶらんこ…」

ぶらん。ぶらん。風吹きゃ ぶらん。踊るよ、黒いぶらんこ……。

「君は何故この境界を越えてしまったのか。さぁ、唄ってごらん」

おらは貧しい村に生まれ いっつも腹を空かせてた
お菓子で出来た家があったら あったら本当に良かんべな

「人は信仰によってのみ救われる」と

偉い坊さんが言ったとさ 本っていうのに書いたとさ
神様が助けてくれるなら たらふく飯食えっぺな

お父達は鎌を手に 出かけて行った
その日の空の色 哀しい程に朱く……

大砲が吼えりゃ「翼もないのに」人が空を飛ぶ「軽やかに高く」戦争とは名ばかりの 唯の殺戮さ

嗚呼 武器が農具じゃ「残念だけれど」射程が短か過ぎた「残酷なほどに」戦争とは名ばかりの 唯の殺戮さ

村の働き手は 結局その殆どが 二度とは帰って来なかった……

「そしておらは、遠くの町へと……売られた」

年齢不詳。性別も不詳。出遇えば不祥。正に人生の負傷。
胡散臭い女将が、夜な夜な暗躍する宿屋。
その名を【黒狐亭】という!

「薹が立って久しい、クソババアが独り。
図太く生きてゆくには、綺麗事ばかりじゃ……ないわよっ!」

「愛した男は、皆儚く散った。
運が悪いのか、時代が悪いのか……」

「嗚呼【Müntzer】は気高く、
【Hutten】は華麗で、
【Sickingen】は、嗚呼、誰よりも―」

「激しかったわ♡」
「おい、クソババア!」

「あんたのような田舎っぺ、拾ってやったのは、何処の誰かしら?
口の利き方にゃ……気をつけなさいっ!」

「さぁさ、旦那、どうぞ。温い麦酒は如何?
自慢の最高な肝臓料理、ご用意致しましょう」

宵闇へ 飛び出した 女将を睨み
客は怒り おらは平謝り

そして小一時間後・・・

空気読まず 出戻った 女将の手には
贖罪の 新鮮な食材

その味に 怒り狂った客も 機嫌を直した
その事で 味を占めた女将の 暴走は続く……

「必死に生きたけど、ロクなことがねぇ。
結局人生って何だべ…よく分かんねぇ……」

「成程、其れで君は吊るされた訳だね? 残念ながら身に覚えのない罪で。
其れが事実であれ、虚構であれ、奪られたものは取り返すものさ。
さぁ、復讐劇を始めようか…」

とんとん とんとん 扉をとんとん
とんとん とんとん 扉をとんとん
とんとん とんとん 扉をとんとん

躍るよ黒い

「おらの肝臓を返せ…」

ぶ ら ん こ

「楽して儲けようとしても、中々上手く行かないものだねぇ」
「アンナ杜撰ナ計画、上手クイク方ガ可笑シイノヨ。ウフフフフフ!!」
