Augenblick [English translation]

What happened to us? You became alien to me

I look at you and feel that I am not salvaged with you

The two of us wanted to talk, now we only quarrel again

When you are honest, you know that I do not deserve this

I fear that you can’t love me anymore

That you can’t requite feelings I have

It makes me sick, when you say, that this is not right

You talk about the great luck, but you behave like a child

Why do you do this to me? Where does this hatered inside of you come from?

I did not want to recognize that I lose my place

The place in your heart, until deep inside your soul

Now your glances are like a rope around my throat

You don’t listen to me anymore, I don’t have a meaning anymore

My thoughts fly accross the room, criss-cross

You’re afraid, it’s ok, if you flee because of this

It’s better you leave now, before you see my tears

It’s a moment that takes your life

And it doesn’t matter if we are against it

Cause the fate of us all, we are waiting for the day

And the loss will happen like the nail will hit the coffin

I’ll drive home now, I have let her go

If I was a girl, I’d hate those two stanzas

I can’t manage with her

I remember how I saw her in this shop here

She read the newspaper and drank her milk-coffee

I knew that now I see the mother of my children

And when she suddenly started to laugh, it sounded like angels’ voices.

Sounded so bittersweet, as if the small angels sang

Because it’s a fact, that this woman is something special

And when she looks (at you), it feels like you could forget about the sun

This gift of God

And you start to miss a person only when the moment is gone

When you get a call that she is in coma

It takes you down as if you're not taking any cocaine

I bash a hole into the wall, with the bare fist

I have fear, fear of the drive to the hospital

I think, you can hear me, I am with you now

Both of us know, a lot has happened between us

The way you have to lie here, and being artificially given air to breathe

Doesn’t matter what has been, today I will stay until your breath dies

The doctors say you’ll leave us today

I hear your weak heart pound and I am near tears

I wanted to tell you so many things, I wanted to make everything right

I pray that you realized how serious these words are for me

I know the angels will take good care of your soul

And a butterfly will come like on this very day

Leave your fears here, take your hopes with you

I know, for everyone death is a compromise

I would give my heart

I would carry you to heaven

Lay you down for sleep there and take the pain

But this is your journey, I can’t accompany you

God does not want me to be present on this journey
