TRUTH

Music by Jim Steinman, original German lyrics by Michael Kunze.

Abronsius:

No-one can confuse me

For I only count the facts,

No-one can mislead me

For I only trust precision

I seek the truth,

And the truth will bring clarity.

My mind is unerring

I study the positive,

I am never superficial,

I always look deeply

Because the truth

Will always bring clarity.

My thirst for knowledge is never satisfied

As long as doubts still nibble at me

I allow no secrets,

I don't listen, I question:

How and what and who and where and when?

How and what and who and where and when?

Magda, Chagal and Rebecca:

Everything is easy

When the day begins with music.

Lots is achieved

When you can forget your worries.

It must not

Be annoying and bothering today,

It is a stupid question.

Abronsius:

When suspicion awakes in me

It hides something from me.

I try with all my power

To find out the truth.

I began in the cradle

To force open my toys,

In an impetuous thirst for knowledge

I dismantled the cuckoo clock.

Whether it was the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus

I didn't let myself be deceived,

At school I soon found out

That all teachers lie.

No answer that they gave

Could ever satisfy me.

I dug into books

And I studied the riddles of nature.

I believe in reason,

It will eventually triumph

And the Professor's Guild

Ignores my knowledge.

But I hate emotion

No-one can provoke me

Without ever looking after myself

I stay on track to find the truth.

My mind is unerring,

I study the positive.

I am never superficial,

I always look deeply

Because I collect evidence

And judge motives.

Yes, I serve every wise man

For progress

And human culture.

Magda, Chagal, Rebecca and Alfred:

His mind is unerring,

He studies the positive.

He is never superficial,

He always looks deeply.

He collects evidence

And judges motives.

Yes, he serves all the wise men

For progress

And human culture.

Abronsius:

I seek truth

I seek clarity

For progress

And for human culture.

I seek truth

I seek clarity

For progress

And for human culture.

I seek truth

I seek clarity

For progress

And for human culture.

Chagal, Alfred, Rebecca and Magda (simultaneously):

And human culture…

Abronsius:

Where you pluck a goose

There's soon a roast.

Where there's ice and snow,

No tomatoes grow.

Where there are noises every night

You cannot sleep,

And where there's a humpback,

There's a Count.

I would bet the Nobel Prize

That this hunchback serves him.

Why haven't you followed him?

A child could show you what will happen…

Logic, logic!

Who asks, I tell them logic:

How and what and who and where and when?

My mind is unerring,

I study the positive.

I am never superficial,

I always look deeply

Because I collect evidence

And judge motives

Yes, I serve every wise man

For progress

And human culture.

I seek truth

I seek clarity

For progress

And for human culture.

I seek truth

I seek clarity

For progress

And for human culture.

Chagal, Alfred, Rebecca and Magda (simultaneously):

For human culture…

All:

For culture!
