Rainer Maria "Catastrophe"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5BkZ_f4DXw

All the dams will give at the end,
at the end, at the end of the world.
Will you swim for me?
And the lights could go at any time,
any time, any time, any time.
How will you look for me?

Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.

And the bridges will burn at the end,
at the end, at the end of the world.
How will we cross the seas?
And the plans have got to hold--a destination
that you and I can rely on for sure.
I want you to find me.

Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.
Do you think we could go on forever
when the architects of the war
are handing out the swords?

But I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you
at the end
of the world,
at the end
of the world.

All the dams will give at the end
at the end, at the end of the world.
So will you swim for me?
And our eyes could go at any time,
any time, any time, any time.
So how will you look for, how will you look,
how will you look for me?

Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world,
and we're taking it all apart.
Do you think we can go on forever
when the architects of the war
are handing out the swords?

Well I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you,
I'm gonna find you
at the end of the world,
at the end of the world,
at the end of the world . . .

I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you
at the end.

My Little Brown Fox Pursues Dwarfs

A dwarf is a short humanoid creature in Norse mythology as well as other Germanic mythologies, fairy tales, fantasy fiction and role-playing games. Its plural was traditionally dwarfs, but Tolkien used the plural dwarves, which has gone into general usage. Dwarves are much like humans, but generally living underground or in mountainous areas. Here they have heaped up countless treasures of gold, silver, and precious stones, and pass their time in fabricating costly armour. They are famed miners and smiths although, like humans, they specialise in any number of trades. Generally shorter than humans, they are on average stockier and hairier, usually sporting full beards. Dwarvish smiths created some of the greatest and most powerful items of power in Norse mythology, such as the magic chain which bound the wolf, Fenris.
