NIETZSCHE

A sombre silhouetteAgainst a sun-rise skyIn solemn solitude,The wanderer goes by.The shadow that he castsUpon the plains belowStrikes terror to the heartsOf those that do not know.O messenger sublimeWho hailest from that landWhere joy and beauty reign;If they could understand!...If they could understandThe message that you bring,They’d strew your path with palms;Hosannahs would they sing.Strength superceding faith,Joy superceding fear:The Super-Christ has come;The Superman is near....

A sombre silhouette

Against a sun-rise sky

In solemn solitude,

The wanderer goes by.

The shadow that he castsUpon the plains belowStrikes terror to the heartsOf those that do not know.

The shadow that he casts

Upon the plains below

Strikes terror to the hearts

Of those that do not know.

O messenger sublimeWho hailest from that landWhere joy and beauty reign;If they could understand!...

O messenger sublime

Who hailest from that land

Where joy and beauty reign;

If they could understand!...

If they could understandThe message that you bring,They’d strew your path with palms;Hosannahs would they sing.

If they could understand

The message that you bring,

They’d strew your path with palms;

Hosannahs would they sing.

Strength superceding faith,Joy superceding fear:The Super-Christ has come;The Superman is near....

Strength superceding faith,

Joy superceding fear:

The Super-Christ has come;

The Superman is near....
