Weiße Fahnen [English translation]

It`s a cold day

in his hot heart

and a loud fire

lights the sky again

And he`s running for his life

his whole young life

never started the war

of his fathers

And everytime he falls asleep

he dreams himself far away

dreams of the silence

dreams himself away

A gentle wind blows

and the sky is wide

This war is over

the soldiers are going home

And white flags fly

and everybody is free, free, free

Tonight my friend

I dreamt of peace

And he wakes up

in the rain of fire

the night`s paralyzed

no stars to see

Red sand runs

through his little hands

he knows how lives end

but not how they start

And everytime he falls asleep

he dreams himself far away

dreams of the silence

dreams himself away

a gentle wind blows

and the sky is wide

This war is over

the soldiers are going home

And white flags fly

and everybody is free, free, free

Tonight my friend

I dreamt of peace

There are so many buried dreams

but he`s never stopped

dare dreaming

Now he`s far away

with healed wounds

His small hands

have found peace
