Die Lebenden und die Toten [English translation]

I throw a stone into the water

And it creates no commotion

I see my time

Burst in this world

I sit on the backseat

And I'm happy

That I am not driving

I see what exists

And what has existed

And I think about

The ones who are slowly dying out

I think about the living

And about the dead

About all who have prophets for me

And again and again

I think of you

All the stations of my journey

Fly past me

Everything that's still ahead

I look forward to it

I sit on the backseat

And let myself fall

There's no way back

Only forward

I ask myself at the crossroad

If like changes me

Or am I exactly right?

And how long do I still exist

I still hear your say

Best you always walk across

Keep a seat for me

Because you travel more now
