Zeitreise [English translation]

Faded images are passing me by

In the flickering light and in the blink of an eye

I’m turning time back to the beginning

When the world was still brand new

I hear the voices and the thoughts

and see the past clearly again

In order to understand what today is,

I’m looking at the way it was

I’m turning time back to the beginning

when the world was still brand new

and the past breaks new ground

and visibility becomes clear again

Journey back through the years,

back to the time, that once was

Journey back through my life

and look back over the past

All it takes is one scent and I’m there again,

all it takes is one word and I’m there again,

all it takes is one song from days gone by

and the past becomes familiar and alive

I’m turning time back to the beginning

(Time is turning back so quickly)

when the world was still brand new

and the past breaks new ground

(as time is moving back)

and visibility becomes clear again

Journey back through the years,

back to the time, that once was

Journey back through my life

and look back over the past

(Time is turning back so quickly

as time is moving back)

I’m turning time back to the beginning

(Time is turning back so quickly)

when the world was still brand new

and the past breaks new ground

(as time is moving back)

and visibility becomes clear again

Journey back through the years,

back to the time, that once was

Journey back through my life

and look back over the past

I’m returning to the here and now

and look into the empty flickering light

The journey through time is over

I’m looking forward to that what is
