Geisterstadt [English translation]

Straying in massive cities

Where life once roared

Signposts stand without names

Like an odour without esscence

Cranes rise from the graves

A flag blows above

and beckons the golden times

When someone still lived here

Under the Gullideckeln(?)

Little life vaporises

The rest stay caged like

Wishes from this area

Sky scrapers hang in the sky

As thick, fat filaments

Dirt under my feet

Disappears with life

I don't know where I am

Running through the streets

What's happened here?

The ghost city begins

Here deep in the east

Where is all the life?

Some empty flats hide

Behind the small curtains

The door here still stands open

As is someone's coming back soon

No windows shmashed in

Everything seems so untouched

A bench with scratchings

Verdicts in a heart

And in the underground station

The travelplan long yellowed

Carparks without an end

The big clock stands still

On a billboard

"Better would be stolen"

I believe that in this life

There is nothing more to take

I don't know where I am

Running through the streets

What's happened here?

The ghost city begins

Here deep in the east

Where is all the life?

I don't know where I am

Running through the streets

What's happened here?

The ghost city begins

Here deep in the east

Here deep in the east

Here deep in the east

Here deep in the east
