Lyrics

01 PERFECT DAY Today it should be raining - the sun is high The world should be in mourning - no wail or cry There should be storm and lightning - no cloud I see I feel that I should lose you - you're right next to me The reek should suffocate me - a pleasent smell I should be ill and sickly - I'm feeling well The meadows should be sallow - no hint of grey I feel I should be sinking - I float away Darkness should be coming - I'm bathed in light I should be so grown-up - I am a child Today I should be freezing - I'm feeling hot Today I should be happy, but I am not.
02 AUF DER SCHWELLE Allein in Scherben auf der Schwelle Weiß nicht vor und nicht zurück Eilend - tretend auf der Stelle Auf welcher Seite liegt das Glück? Rechterhand vertraute Schmerzen Linkerhand Unsicherheit Lauschend angsterfülltem Herzen, Das keine Fehler mehr verzeiht Ist es Suche nach Katharsis? Stummes Harren, schamerfüllt? Ein Erkalten nur in Stasis Jeder Hunger ungestillt Allein in Scherben auf der Schwelle Was ist Dunkel? Was ist Licht? Weitersuchend nach der Quelle Vor - zurück - Ich weiß es nicht	ON THE THRESHOLD Alone in shards on the threshold Don't know a way forward nor backward Hurrying - treading water On which side lies fortune? To the right there's well-known pain To the left there's uncertainty Listening to a frightened heart That won't forgive another mistake Is it the search for katharsis? Silent abiding, filled with shame? Cooling down in stasis Every hunger unstilled Alone in shards on the threshold What is darkness? What is light? Continuing the search for the source Forwards - backwards - I don't know
03 NO CERTAINTY Trodden dirt beneath my feet Trailing down the dusty street A million miles have passed me by So I lay down and watch the sky Only mist and fog ahead Not a single word I said Ever could remain What has been shall be no more Locked and barred the rusty door Forevermore Will we ever reach our goals? Where is the mender of our soules? Eternal march to a promised land To meet a dream or meet the end Mist and fog lie on our way Singing songs of yesterday Nothing shall remain Countless lives shall never be Nothing left for us to see No excuse, no certainty
04 DU FÄLLST Fühlst du dich um deine Welt betrogen? Hat man dir den Boden weggezogen? Bist du immer noch im freien Fall? Wartest du noch immer auf den Aufprall? Und du fällst Und du schreist - Und du weinst Und du hasst - Und du liebst Und du fällst Und du fällst Und du rufst - Und du hoffst Und du liebst - Und du liebst Und du fällst Hast du noch immer das Problem nicht erkannt? Schlägst du weiter Löcher in die Wand? Läufst du weiter immer nur im Kreis? Ist dir auch weiter weder kalt noch heiß?	YOU FALL Do you feel cheated of your world? Has the ground been pulled from beneath your feet? Are you still within the free fall? Are you still waiting for the impact? And you fall And you cry - And you weep And you hate - And you love And you fall And you fall And you call - And you hope And you love - And you love And you fall Have you still not recognized the problem? Are you still punching holes into the wall? Do you still run in circles? Are you still neither cold nor hot?
05 WANEM Wanem ter órin - sycen na peþas Wanem nar tór- ter mór Tíroc i garmi nar men ie lastoc i gawat? Tíroc i dehtin e leoltar? Deriʃ na calat?
06 KALT (in the end) The war has long been over But there was nothing gained or lost We're cleaned up and we're sober The last frontier has long been crossed When all imagination And all of our dreams come to an end All hopes run dry We're scratching at the surface To seem to care what's underneath We wear our darkened glasses Don't dare to look! But: Look achieved! The talk of revolution Just another term from history books We're standing by And I keep thinking: what has been and what is never gonna be And I keep thinking: in the end there's nothing left for us to see And I keep thinking how it's been, and how it wasn't meant to be And I keep thinking: in the end there's nothing left for us to be We drank the poison chalice But every drop has gone to waste We sing a song of love and malice Where every word has been replaced I trip, you slip, we're falling We fall together, fall apart We aimed for heaven, hit the sky
07 NEVER TOO LATE How could it be you never learned to speak? You never knew that you could not see You were so wrong to hope it was easy A wasted chance to make things as they should be But I know: It's never too late And I know: It's never too late You carry on to face another day There was a light - a guide upon your way The candle's out, but it's never really dark You took your leave, but there's a time to re-embark
08 SPIEGELSCHERBEN The mirror is broke - it's raining cold shards Beholding but blackness since one pierced my heart I break all the flowers and I shatter my light And what once woke my loving now wakes anger and spite I receive tender kisses from lips made of frost And I know that I'll follow - no matter the cost The deathly beauty clouds my heart like a mist But I live in a dreamworld that I never knew did exist I dwell in a glacier, bathed in northern lights A frost-bitten phantom beyond mirth and delights Where obedience is heart-felt love soon may be I'm waiting for weeping - and 'eternity'
09 WINTERHERZ Since Sun has bowed his head To the drear and biting cold All the birds' songs: They are dead Philomela's pinions fold Gloom reigned afar and near Winter will soon be here To show his dreadful power As all life forsakes the flower ...und der Regen fällt True joy might follow grief If my heart felt less despair And with laughter, glee, relief Flowers blossomed everywhere Who is able shall rejoice But ever silent is my voice Even if tomorrow'll show Clover green where now there's snow ...und der Regen fällt Winterherz
