As a bridge and not an end Across an endless abyss Man is tied By the beast and the overhuman All beings have created Beyond themselves Made your way from beast to man But still a monster Don't go back to being the beast What have you done? Need to kill your inner creature To defeat the man in you Need to kill your inner monster To become the overhuman Man is a laughing stock A painful embarrassment To the overhuman The meaning of the earth Don't go back to being the beast What have you done? Need to kill your inner creature To defeat the man in you Need to kill your inner monster To become the overhuman Thus spoke the overhuman Man shall be overcome Don't go back to being the beast He's the ebb of the great flood Need to kill your inner creature To defeat the man in you Need to kill your inner monster To become the overhuman
