Der Raum des Schweigens [English translation]

When darkness falls

And the night talks to the wind

Fantasies go hand in hand

And time is like the fine-grained sand

Nearly blowing the traces of our lives away

Leaving you

There begins the realm of silence1

United under a naked neon light

Ten thousand people, one of them is crying

They're all talking but never listening

Many are listening but never talk

And words fall like tears into the ocean

Cold and empty

That's the realm of silence

A stone falls into the well

When will it ever reach the bottom?

Our life is like a strange animal

Some people wonder: What am I doing here?

For happiness has little time for many

Limitless

That's the realm of silence

Those many mistakes are like a man

Who wants everything but has no skills

Eyes are heavy in the rain

He wants to cry but he's at his wits' end

And his song is too far away for many

Out of time

Begins the realm of silence

A stone falls into the well

When will it ever reach the bottom?

Our life is like a strange animal

Some people wonder: What am I doing here?

For happiness has little time for many

Limitless

That's the realm of silence

1. Lit. "the room of silence".
