Straightened these slumped shoulders,
And filled my heart up again;
Sent smiles through chambers,
Where atriums housed echoing laughter:

Slide your hand,
Trace my lifeline,
Into your land:
Breathe into my lungs

Slide your midas hand
You will not  err, err, err, err
You will not err, err, err, err
We cannot err, err, err, err

We'll hobble into posture,
Past the pasture and pens,
Through my mother’s darkened barn,
Up away
Up away
Up away
Up away


Give me your hand,
Give me your hand;
Take off your glove:
Our fingerprint unlocks our heart.

"Seeing that before long I must confront humanity with the most difficult demand ever made of it, it seems indispensable to me to say who I am. Really, one should know it, for I have not left myself "without testimony." But the disproportion between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contemporaries has found expression in the fact that one has neither heard nor even seen me. I live on my own credit; is it perhaps a mere prejudice that I live? ... I need only to speak with one of the "educated" who come to the Upper Engadine for the summer, and I am convinced that I do not live ... Under these circumstances I have a duty against which my habits, even more the pride of my instincts, revolt at bottom, namely, to say: Hear me! For I am such and such a person. Above all, do not mistake me for someone else!" - Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
