Mannen i den vita hatten [16 år senare] [med extraverser] [English translation]

A row of benches in a restless late April

I glance over my shoulder and see you blink

I can have you when you want

A wind blows trash down the corridor one last time

And you and I hold our breath and hold hands in the leap

It is not so far from home

And still there are thousands of tears left

And they are yours to give to anybody

At last

They are the most valuable jewels you have

So never ask for forgiveness again

At last, we cross their borders

Do you remember our bloodoath, our law

Our stupid crusade against an equally stupid town

I remember it all, like nails against glass

But you just laugh at me, reduce it all to a joke

But I see in your anxious look, your hunted gaze, that it feels

That it is far from home

And soon there are no tears left

They were ours to give to anybody

At last

They are the most valuable jewels we have

So never ask for forgiveness again

At last, you set for yourself your borders

That boy I never knew

Who walked on streets I never saw

And thought thoughts I never thought

Under thin and flyaway hair

And all the feelings struck and exploded

The whole everyday full of holes

In a time when nothing happened

In a town that always slept

But baby we were all once small

Yes, we were all once small

Yes, we were all once small

I throw stones in my glass house

I throw arrows in my incubator

And so I grow my fear

Yes, I constantly sew new seeds

And in my greenhouse I am safe

There grows envy clear and bright

I am scared for my life to live

And I am scared to death to die

But baby we will all one day die

Yes, we will all one day die

Yes, we will all one day die

We will all one day die

We will all one day die

We will all one day die

A word blind little cowboy

rules the world from a land

where the Christians, white and right wing

and NRA go hand in hand

And we dance to the pipes

fatten fat wonderchildren

with a Big Mac infront of the TV

Like a true American

I am 40 years from death

according to the statistics of today

It is a numbing thought

that we have so little time

And I find it hard to show feelings

when it is not about us

And I have never had an opinion

never carried any cross

And time crushes soft your resistance

It will melt away like snow

until you strike your cane against the walls

that you raised around your island

And all your friends

And the whole of your family

They march towards the day

When they will no longer exist

Because baby we will all one day die

And he that stares out from the mirror

That can surely not be me

When did I become so ugly, tired, and old

So alone, cowardly, and weak

And you hate what you have become

and disdain who you were

So is there any God in the world

that can give you any answer

apart from: We will all one day die

I hate the songs I have written

I hate everything I have ever said

And I hate what I have become

When I believed that I had strength

I hate the cliches I have spread

On song and dance and drink

One should perhaps take his life now

But I get on so well in my suite

And baby, we will all one day die

So you took my hand in the crowd

and said: Baby, everything is shit

And my cynical heart flickers

when my life's love draws its knife

You said: Yes, we will follow out to the heavens

But first, make the best of our time

And I hear the bells that ring out

For the world's oldest pick up line

"Baby we will all one day die"

I have always liked weakness

Like sex and drink and drugs

There is always a way out

And I have never been strong

For in my head there burns a contrast

A forestfire in a park

Where a hundred thousand monkeys

Fill a teenager's blank sheets

With the words: We will all one day die

And I will protect those I love

With heart, body, and soul

I will protect them against life

Which is hard and ugly and frail

I will give them everything that remains

When I am finished with this here

I will give them something that helps

Against an evil and poisonous world

Because you and I will never die

What I want can not be bought

Not sold, got on loan

What I want can not be owned

It is so much greater than that

I throw a paperplane from the highrise

Towards a spark hidden in the snow

I must believe that it can happen

I must dream my own dream

Because you and I will never die

No you and I will never die

I believe I know what everything is about

I believe I finally understand

That there is no magic shortcut

No smoke and no track

And there is no easy solution

Nothing black and white, just grey

You have to take what you have been given

And say "I love what I have got"

Because you and I will never die

No you and I will never die

What we have will never die

No what we have will never die

What we have will never die

I have your head against my shoulder

Your little forehead is so warm

I have your life in my hands

Because you have no one else

And your heartbeats make small rings

On the black water all around

And so I remember nothing else

That could even mean a thing

And you are a light glimmer in our fog

You are the light that longs in

You are the only one here that burns

Never give up, stand never still

And there is nothing more to say

Your pulse is overflow

And I have nothing more to say

Because your silence is my prayer

Yes we will all one day die

Yes we will all one day die

And may the black salty waters

Cool fever red cheeks

May we be miles from life

Before the morning comes above

Not of this world

Was I and my unending hardship

I suffered for my anxiety, my doubt

And for my burning love

Yes we will all one day die

On a seashell speckled seashore

Stands a door of heavy roses

Wherein the resting decaying shipwrecks

And the tired men find peace

High songs never heard

Like violin echoes sing

Under the arch where the eternally young children

Of paradise live

Yes we will all one day die

Yes we will all one day die

And for me everything became a contest

An exercise in faith

A frontal assault in love

Where a white flag was seen as a betrayal

But I follow wherever you walk

Even to hell and back

Because in you I saw the spark

Though the years have made it weaker

We will all one day die

We will all one day die

Some promises must be forgotten

Some memories must die

Old dreams must be crushed

For the new ones that will take over

Some rules must be broken

Baby, was that not what we said?

We have always played the game

But once we were on the same team

We were those who could not die

We were those who could not die

We were those who could not die... once

But baby, we will all one day die
