From a distant desert
Soulless and glowing hot
We drag ourselves through the dunes
Striding like old men
Three days have passed
Three nights full of pain
Have we been longing for cold water
Greed for sweet wine
Look ahead
Not back
If we go on, happiness will approach us too
Look ahead
Not back
Only together can we lift this piece
United in suffering
Let's laugh and shame on the burial clothes
Look ahead
Because nothing is lost yet!
Who will keep us from death?
Are we crawling on our grave?
Does the hourglass stop?
Will nobody turn it?
But then hope shines
In a wonderful green glow
After endless rocks and sand
Will our salvation be now
Look ahead
Not back
If we go on, happiness will approach us too
Look ahead
Not back
Only together can we lift this piece
United in suffering
Let's laugh and shame on the burial clothes
Look ahead
Because nothing is lost yet!
Look ahead
Not back
If we go on, happiness will approach us too
Look ahead
Not back
Only together can we lift this piece
United in suffering
Let's laugh and shame on the burial clothes
Look ahead
Because nothing is lost yet!
