Black Square Lyrics

[Intro]
Europäische Träume, Europäische Schreie
Europäische Himmel, Europäische [?]
Europäischen Straßen, Europäische Hoffnung
Europäische Söhne, Europäische Liebe
Europäische Träume, Europäische Schreie
Europa Geht Durch Mich
Europa Geht Durch Mich

[Verse 1]

When every single day you're haunted by perfection
Paintings are never finished, but many abandoned

[Chorus]

Endless endorsements, slowly passing always
Resources, divorces, with unknown forces
Endless endorsements, slowly passing always

[Verse 2]
Well let us wipe the slate clean
Let us dig our own graves
Let us choose our own wars and make our mistakes
Free yourselves from a tyranny of objects
Purged of all colour, the purest abstraction

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
