Das Leben rast vorbei [English translation]

Life tears past

Or am I driving to fast

Is it already dark or yet light

Am I grown-up and a child

Do I only watch how time passes by

Am I in the middle of it or just at the edge

Are you alien to me or are we related

Look at your life

Does it make sense

Is it only wasted, look at it thorougly

A star passes the sky

And a plane flies to Vienna

The passes as heavy as lead

I let it pass by

Faster than the tone and faster than the light

You are the arrow on the bow, even when the bow breaks

Your breath is quickening, your time is too short

And before you turn around, you're already dead

And before you turn around, you're already dead

A star passes the sky

And a place flies to Vienna

The passes as heavy as lead

I let it pass by

Between night and and the next day it is silent

Some comes home only now

The city is silent, its breath cool

It looks like it's going to rain
