Eins
Wer, wenn nicht jetzt?
Und was, wenn nicht wir?
Wo, wenn nicht du?
Und wodurch, wenn nicht hier?
Warum, wenn nicht alles?
Und wofür, wenn nicht das?
Das Nichts hat der Stille ein Schweigen verfasst.
Doch warum ballt es sein Herz zu einer Faust, wenn es spricht?
Das Nichts zeugte den Zeugen und nannte ihn Ich.
Nun ist Ich auch Viele, die Wahrheit bleibt schlicht.
Die Welt ist ein Verb, sie handelt dich.
Doch jetzt brichst du die Gleichung - Deins ungleich Meins,
wir ins Quadrat, geteilt durch Seins.
Du multiplizierst, du addierst, du vereinst.
Doch das Ergebnis der Formel bleibt immerfort Eins.
One
Who if not now?
And what if not us?
Where if not you?
And by what if not here?
Why if not everything?
And wherefore if not that?
Nothingness has written a reticence1 for silence.
But why does it clench its heart to a fist when speaking?
Nothingness begot the witness and called it I.
Even though I is many, the truth remains simple.
The world is a verb, it's acting you.
But now you break the equation - Yours unequal to Mine,
we squared, divided by His2.
You multiply, you add, you unite.
But the result of the formula constantly remains one.
