Here speaks Electra. In the Heart of Darkness. Under the Sun of Torture. To the Metropolises of the World. In the Names of the Victims. I expel all the semen which I have received. I transform the milk of my breasts into deadly poison. I suffocate the world which I gave birth to, between my thighs. I bury it in my crotch. Down with the joy of oppression. Long live hate, loathing, rebellion, death. When she walks through your bedroom with butchers knives, youll know the truth.
I found the whole text in english on the internet at [debelyudebelyudebelyudot]efn.org/~dredmond/Hamletmachine.PDF
But I guess we all have different monther tongues... good luck ;) (especially to understand it!)

zu "gepflegt" und "schön" gesprochen. Drückt nicht aus, was die Worte besagen.

Obwohl es kein Lied ist besitzt es doch eine faszinierend, geheimnisvolle Melodie.
Große Kunst!

That's almost it, except that she doesnt mean "Down with the joy of opression" but "Down with the joy of submission"

Thanks,
Hamletmachine is a transcendental pro-active piece. It is not void darkness but also reflective expression.
