Gate

one step through the gate
you did it! you did it! why
 
dusty clouds are trailing to the gate
painted golden in the last rays of the sun
lost time of the green hills
and your former glowing soul
blown away in stripes
like the shadow of a bird
 
one step through the gate
you did it! you did it! why
 
wornout bodies follow you
thousands one by one
bloody limbs and wasted faces
torn out in the big fight
they have forgotten
that god means love
you turned them believing in you
instead of god  
one step through the gate
you did it! you did it! why
 
if you kill for god
you murder love
you murder god and earth
your mother ...
all is dust, just with
one step through the gate
you did it
tell me! why!  
and behind a dusty hill, hidden in a cave
ther sits an old man with his many-wrinkled wife
crying for their children
on their way through the gate
god and earth hide on the other side
when you step through the gate
