Time

Many a should've been, many a not
We see though we are blind
We are throwing lightless shadows
 
According to us,
There will be poverty firstly after the youth.
We are dying more until we live.
By living, we are going to the death.
We are floating towards the end
Never rest!*** Only dying ahead. (Not "H"ast, but "R"ast)
The infinity in the timestream started
Has been waving on the seaside.
 
The time!
Please, stop, keep standing there
The time!
This should always go on the same
 
Hot body is almost cold
One can't implore the future
It never allows any hold
It had created, destroys at short.
I am lying here in your arms
Ow, if only it could be so endlessly
Yet the time does have no mercy
It is even over already
 
The time!
Please, stop, keep standing there
The time!
This should always go on the same
The time!
This is so nice, so nice
Each one knows the final time | (see the note about "perfekt")
 
The time!
Please, stop, keep standing there
 
If our time has come
Then it's time to go
If it's the nicest to stop
The clocks stop and don't go.
 
The moment is so excellent, | (see the note about "perfekt")
Yet the time still goes ahead
Wait, idle around a tad
I am not ready yet
 
The time!
Please, stop, keep standing there
The time!
This should always go on the same
The time!
This is so nice, so nice
Each one knows the final time | (see the note about "perfekt")
