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".
