Habgier und Tod [English translation]

I was begotten without pleasure

I was born as a servant

And my home was the

valley of need

Our mistress was Greed

I swore to be true to her

But to visit the valley came

only Death

She said: I never

give anything away

I want more

Taking is more pleasant than giving

Give me more

Taking is more pleasant than giving

I want more

Death said to Greed

That he was still sympathetic to her

In her hand lay three

seeds of grain

She should give him one

Then he would spare her

Even her slaves would find

his mercy

Greed turned red with anger

She wouldn't give him anything

And hid her hands in the hem

of her dress

So Death's hand went forth

The black fog arose

And everyone was delivered from

their suffering

She said: I never

give anything away

I want more

Taking is more pleasant than giving

Give me more

Taking is more pleasant than giving

I want more

Greed fled from our valley

But I died there

I keep looking for

a reason

If she'd just given him one grain

Then I would still live

And her wealth would grow

hour by hour

Taking is more pleasant than giving

Give me more

Taking is more pleasant than giving

I want more

I want more

Give me more
