lyrics

(Scroll down for english translation... )

Die Zeit ist tot
sie starb mit mir
nun schweigen wir
und liegen hier
als Punkt, als Strich
so kümmerlich
sie ist tot
ich spür’ sie nicht

Wir ruhn zusammen
in einer fremden Welt
wir sehn das Lichtspiel
und das offne Zelt
Farben formen Muster
und diese ein Bild
die Zeit ist tot
doch sie lächelt mild

Ein Schlag durchzückt
das Meer der Sinne
und mein Herzschlag rast
und mit ihr die Zeit
Pulsierende Perlen
schillern auf meinen Händen
meine Augen huschen
über die Utopie
meiner Gedanken
kämpfen sich durch
das Dickicht in meinem
Verstand ich doch nie
die Klarheit aller
Dinge schwirren um
meine Füße beginnen zu
schwebende Klänge in
meine Ohren sind voller
Wind stürmt weiter
und weiter und weiter

- - -

Dream
(translation by Lukas Henning. Many thanks to Kate Harding for her translation-related suggestions!)

Time’s time has come
it passed with me
we fall silent now
and lie here
as a dot, a stroke
so pitiful
it’s gone
felt no more

We rest together
in another world
We see the pictures move
and heaven’s open tent
Color shapes patterns
patterns a view
Time’s time has come
its gentle smile.

A throb disturbs
the sea of senses
my heartbeat racing
and time with it
Pulsating beads
shimmer on my palms
My eyes darting
grand Utopia of
my thoughts
struggling through the thicket
in my mind
ever unaware of the
clarity of it all
things whirring around
my feet uttering a
beat in the tone in
my ears are filled with
wind storming on
and on and on
