Man is something to be surpassed

A rope over the abyss

To humanity apes are a laughingstock

Yet much in man remains ape

Even the wisest among us

Are a disharmony

Of plant and phantom

Plagued by complacency

Pre-Chorus (Andrew and Alex):

What good is my reason?

What good is my virtue?

What good is my justice?

What good is my pity?

He is the lightning that licks with its tongue

He is the sea that devours poison

He is the frenzy that inoculates

He is the one who's beyond love and hate

Ubermensch shall be the meaning of the Earth

A striving, a longing, a goal and a hope

Fear not damnation and otherworldly goals

Remain true to self, and true to the Earth

Man is something to be surpassed

A rope over the abyss

To humanity apes are a laughingstock

Yet much in man remains ape

Even the wisest among us

Are a disharmony

Of plant and phantom

Plagued by complacency

Pre-Chorus (Andrew and Alex):

What good is my reason?

What good is my virtue?

What good is my justice?

What good is my pity?

He is the lightning that licks with its tongue

He is the sea that devours poison

He is the frenzy that inoculates

He is the one who's beyond love and hate

Ubermensch shall be the meaning of the Earth

A striving, a longing, a goal and a hope

Fear not damnation and otherworldly goals

Remain true to self, and true to the Earth

This is the hour of great contempt

Where all worth and meaning are put to the test

My happiness should justify existence itself

In order to find it I must go over the depths
