Deine Zeit [English translation]

Do you talk of the same happiness?

You're longing for way back

And you're looking at me

Your goodness

Your quiet sincerity

You're fighting your time

You're smiling at destiny

Coming very close

Without emergency or defence

Your magic works, takes old shadows away

And you're keeping your word

Before the light of the morning

Kidnaps you or breaks this moment:

Sign with white ink!

Oversee small printed words!

You mustn't go!

You talk when you don't say anything

When you put yourself to tomorrow

And your route seems wide,

Silently you walk away

Into different pasts

According to your sense and manner

Before the light of the morning

Kidnaps you or breaks this moment:

Sign with white ink!

Oversee small printed words!

You mustn't go!

What happened before you're modelling artistically

Your enemies are blown away and dispersed

Carefully you go stalking your soul.

Your reality is all that counts here!

No reality is all that counts here!

You're talking of the same happiness

You're longing for way more

And you're looking at me

I'm closing my eyes in order to see with you

To think you, to understand you

Before the light of the morning

Kidnaps you or breaks this moment:

Let us dance your dance!

Let us go your path,

Both of us reconciled

Sign with white ink!

For a breath of eternity

For your eternity!
