Click to see the original lyrics (German, English, Arabic)
Itt vagyok egyedül,
Mit ismertem, eltűnt,
S meghalni nem akarok!
Mi lesz majd velem holnap?
A következő árva én kell, hogy legyek?
Egy újabb bánat teli áldozat?
 
Hogy élhetünk ezzel az iszonnyal, mit mi hoztunk a világba?
Mi vakít el minket úgy, hogy ne lássuk utunk tévedéseit?
Itt nem maradt semmi sem, üres a szoba,
Hol egyszer éltem én.
Anyám, miért hagytál engem cserben?
Apám, miért kell küzdenünk, hogy túléljük ezt?
S olyannak kell-e felnőnöm, mint te?
 
Hogyan élhetünk e világban, hol adják-veszik az életeket?
 

Journey

We stand on our old path
Do you see the sun going down?
Only when the last lighthouse becomes dark
Will I look back to you
Even if everything in us is screaming
I'll disappear into the darkness
In another great life
We will see each other again
 
[Refrain:]
I'm going on the journey
I'm going far across the sea
And you watch me
All the sails are set
And your heart will slowly become heavy
I'm going on the journey
The horizon in sight
I wish you a good life
I'll come back as a star
 
The sky wears its nightgown
And you carry me into the wide night
You breathe in the cool air
And yet you stay away until morning
If you're looking for me and are lonely
You'll see a bright light on the horizon
 
[Refrain x 2:]
I'm going on the journey
I'm going far across the sea
And you watch me
All the sails are set
And your heart will slowly become heavy
I'm going on the journey
The horizon in sight
I wish you a good life
I'll come back as a star

Black

She quickly steps aside
As we pass by her
She holds way back
She's afraid of the evil eye
The crowd in daylight
Talking about that dark shadow
Which today in the night
Wakes up to this song, too
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black
 
They avoid sunlight
On our arm and face
They're usually outside in the night
When our song awakes
And there's more and more of us
Which comes out of every corner
We are a mystical danger
But is it really true? Yes
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black
 
They don't look into the bright gleam
In our eyes when we dance
They don't see all the color
Speaking from our hearts
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black

Symphony

Everywhere I've been something has begun
Everything I've ever seen gave me a sound
Every place sends a tone, every moment a harmony
But there's have been some rough edges for a long time1, the great final chord is missing
For my life's symphony
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
 
I've never taken a break, kept going most of the time
I wrote my own symphony in major and minor
Often it lay in dark fog, often far too bright in the light
And yet I have lived there, cried there, and laughed a lot there
With my head held high
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
That's my symphony
And you are always in it
Because in every melody
You put in your tone
 
Sometimes it went faster, sometimes it fell to pieces
Just as life did
Even deception had to be
Like a thunderbolt
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
That's my symphony
And you are always in it
Because in every melody
You put in your tone
 
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony

Our days

Rain dies on the ground
It reflects the young night
People's footsteps echo
Everything's asleep but I'm awake
My thoughts are empty
Everything is meaningless and distracted
Every movement is difficult for me
And no one's there to answer me
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
 
I push through the sea of people
And I'm looking for your face
When you left me yesterday
The light in my heart went out
My broken heart races tirelessly
It tears and churns me up
It burns in me with hot embers
For you and it must come out
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Every hour that goes by
I will regret
 
Because there can be nothing else here
That keeps me alive
That keeps me alive
Yet there must be something
I want to return to life
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Every hour that goes by
I will regret
 
Because there must still be something
That will let me keep living

Surfer

Always on top, from the crest of one wave to another
For a thousand nights I've gone my way
I fight through the sea spray and I'm freezing, even in the hurricane
I'm looking for your face but I can't find it!
 
Oh, if only I could conquer
That which drove me away from you
All the giant waves1 separate me from you
 
[Refrain:]
Tell me when I finally won't have to go any further
And when I'll reach you
Am I finally home?
I set off, I feel like a surfer
And then the wind and sea will send me further adrift
 
You reach out your hand to me, I can see it in my dream
And I've lost it, the earth will keep turning
But I stand still, even when the wind blows around me
Because my heart is as heavy as lead and will be my anchor
 
Why couldn't I conquer
That which drove me away from you?
All the giant waves between you and me
 
[Refrain:]
Tell me when I finally won't have to go any further
And when I'll reach you
Am I finally home?
I set off, I feel like a surfer
And then the wind and sea will send me further adrift
 
I am a surfer
I am a surfer

Our eyes

How wide was the old path
And long, so impassably long
How deep was the stream, I couldn't stand up in it
I was trapped inside a child
I wanted to be tall, far away from there
I wanted to tower over everything
So I ran away from that place and into today
Without questions
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness1
Oh, if only time had stopped
 
Your eyes look at me
Exactly how I once looked
And yet at some point
I simply blocked the gate to childhood
Now I see you, you're running too
My child, stop
You won't hear, you don't listen
Until the time flies away from you too
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness
Oh, if only time had stopped
 
And if ever we don't exist anymore
Then you will look in a child's eyes
You will be sad, you will embrace your child
And the years will go on
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness
Oh, if only time had stopped
If only it had stopped

Love disco

The rapture of the dance chimes darkly
Around us in the tournament of bodies
That have already known each other a long time
Lusting, sweating, uninhibited
I caught your eye
It shines pulsatingly at me
Light moves to music
My heart beats for you
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Dry air on the podium
The poet babbles and lulls us
A glimmer of light gathers, stops us
We're standing alone
My table here and yours over there
Our fear as a barrier
In between lies an ocean
Of sensual thoughts
 
[Refrain:]
And we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Are thoughts really free?
Are desire and lust enough?
Then I don't have to do anything
Perhaps you'll come to me
 
But we stand there and drink
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could

Soldiers of fortune

Fire, ice and longing
Looking ahead, determination
The wide path is part of the destination
There in infinity
 
To celebrate feasts as they fall
To use the days, and the nights too
All will become eternity
We are the clang in the cold smoke
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
We lay our tracks
And step out from oblivion
We draw our sword from the stone
And fight our way free
 
We shatter our fear, nothing will stop us
We stick together, man by man
We are ready and our flag is waving
Ahead of everyone
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
 
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune

My country

They march on
They chant old songs
I can't listen to all that any more
 
False flags again
They write lists, shout out names
And want to destroy us
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Gasoline into every fire
Steered in the wrong direction
I've had enough of this war
 
They lie and betray
They agitate, they manipulate
Their roots strike deep
 
It's not their country
They have no right
To destroy it
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Death, cold and a war
It was all there
If the country lies in the abyss
Then what will ever remain of it?
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away

You're alive

Dark grey is the asphalt of your youth
Dark grey is the stone on which you fell
Dark grey is the mist of longing in which you're immersed
When you lie on wet stones
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Cruel is the memory of a life
Cruel is the hardship you feel
Cruel is the mist of memory in which you're immersed
When hardship surrounds you again
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Grey are the walls that you built for yourself
From all the stone on which you fell
Raw, but you have become strong
Because fortunately you heart is not made of stone
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
You're alive and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, you're alive

Rebellion of the Dwarfs

You must be tall and powerful
In the land of great atrocities
To move carefree
And to expand oneself further
The dwarfs had a lot of patience
They believed they were to blame
But with time they noticed
That they are never granted freedom
 
Rage has now spread about
And plans are being devised
They want to try everything
Now they have nothing left to lose
A hundred thousand little dwarfs
The giants' hair stand on end
And after a long preparation
Now it's finally ready
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
 
And then with its very last strength
The old night, it screams out
Can't you forgive us once again?
We will repent everything
The giants run out of breath
They shrink slowly
Soon they are just as small
As all the dwarfs
 
You can be small and slight
To free this land here
To do what you now want to do
Without terror, without drill
Despite that you must lend water
In case new giants arise
To escape such fetters again
Will never happen
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it

The East*

You see the horizon as a border
Just don't go any further
But the world is round
We will see further
 
We're not in a rush, just don't stay still
Because no one will stay behind
Do you see our flag blowing?
We see bit by bit
 
[Refrain:]
The East, it rises up from the darkness
And in the morning the sun will rise again
The East, full steam ahead
And perhaps then morning, morning, morning
 
Join in our circle
Then you won't be alone
We'll simply take you with us
Into the East
 
The night, soon it will fade
Look ahead with us
Toward the new time
In the morning we will be born again
 
[Refrain:]
The East, it rises up from the darkness
And in the morning the sun will rise again
The East, full steam ahead
And perhaps then morning, morning, morning

To be that way forever*

The storm in our heads, it lets us breathe
Our hearts are free, our souls naked
Fear of the end, that can wait
We are here and we stay awake
 
It's the child that remains in us
That burns in us for eternity
 
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
Our eyes wild, the sky red
We burn bright and blazing
We dance on into the dawn
Because it burns ablaze in us
 
The young souls want to finally glow
Restlessly ready for life
We will conquer pain and death
Free ourselves from space and time
 
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
There is a light on the horizon
And flames blaze up
We'll stay until time burns us up
And heaven softly hears our choir
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
Our eyes wild, the sky red
We burn bright and blazing
We dance on into the dawn
Because it burns ablaze in us

Blood moon

On the last evening we sit so silently before one another
Neither of us directs his words to the other
Only our eyes glisten, we look at each other, in the candlelight
Only our hands play, the rest drowns in heavy wine
In heavy wine
 
If the last candle goes out today
It glows and echoes in this night
The heart and every beat that enlivens us
Resounds and dies in the rhythm of the other heart
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon
 
All the years we've been silent in the maelstrom of emotions
We made love every night, in the sparkle of neutrons
The night should never end, everything should be in silver
The shadows will fade, I know you will forgive me
You will forgive me
 
If the last candle goes out today
Then I'll bring you into this night
A light that is brighter than that of the silver
Then the night will no longer die for the new day
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon
 
Then we will be joined
And we will found galaxies
That are timeless and not secret
Tonight it will happen
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon

Armageddon

Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
The light goes out, a storm brews
The world stands still in its orbit
Soon it will lie in dark calm
Because now the call to battle sounds
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
Rank upon rank we stand still
Because someone wanted it this way
We marched out today for them
We don't know them but we're here
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
We take the blame
One last time in harsh conflict
Without asking for the meaning
Then the darkness finally comes
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon

Children

I am alone
My head is empty
My heart, it is so heavy
What will be left of me tomorrow?
Will I be yet another orphaned child
Whose dreams have died at the front?
 
How can we live with our mistakes?
What obscures our vision?
 
Now I am alone
And the room is empty
Where my life was yesterday
Mother, why did you have to go away from me?
Father, why must I fight to survive?
Why is a new hate being sown in me?
 
How can we cultivate death for our children?
 
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see God

Icarus

All hope is destroyed
Pride came before the fall, deathly silence before the bang
You always wanted to go up high
You were the last hero for a better world
 
Everything you dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Lift yourself one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
 
Endlessly proud, sure of yourself
So you went ahead with fanfare and singing
We followed you into the bright light
Borne by the euphoria that cried out from your heart
 
Everything we dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Take us with you one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus

Once again

We are still joined, you1 look up to me
Time heals no wounds, nothing stops them
I look back to you, to everything that once was
You were my whole happiness, you were all always there for me
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go
 
The train wants to drive on further, the signal gives me a red light
There's still so much to say, I can't...
I can't go yet, I want to be with you
Like in the old days, we were never alone
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go
Light still burns, I can't go
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go

Love In War

When at the end of the night
You catch sight of sunlight through the smoke
Then you know that you're still alive
And you don't look back
I'm sending you withered roses
That you place down in tears
That save me from the blind hate
That you bear with proud strength
 
[Refrain:]
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together
 
When you with your own strength
Retain your worth, don't go down
Then I know once again
Who you are and that you resist everything
You have the power to save me
When I'm having doubts
What is then good and what is evil?
And does all of that really make sense?
 
[Refrain:]
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together
 
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together

It is your love in war

White like snow

My scream echoes through the fog
A brief pain, it becomes so cold
Everything passes before my eyes
And pulls me into the Darkness
Keep holding my hands
Which no longer stimulate themselves
With the last picture of you
I am on the way
 
White like snow
My heart is shattered
Down there on the lake
In the sinister night
I see your face
Even when I now go
Your light escorted me
So bright and white like snow
 
Forget-me-not, it was so beautiful
It was not supposed to be
I don't know what's happening with us
Too late now, I dive into the dark
 
White like snow
My heart is shattered
Down there on the lake
In the sinister night
I see your face
Even when I now go
Your light escorted me
So bright and white like snow
(x2)
 
So white like snow
So bright and white like snow
