The Answering Machine
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
I don't know why
you're not calling me
but talk after the peep, oh yea
the answering machine
would store your words
if you talked after the peep, oh yea
oh, do you remember me
the little boy in mirrors on the wall
oh, my number on your sheet
your calming hand did tell me you would call
sometimes I know
that you will not call me
but talk after the peep, oh yea
then I'll be here
to pick up the phone
and I'll kiss you after the peep, oh yea.
oh, do you remember me
the one who has a dream that never ends
oh, some harmonies from books
my piano longs to be played by your hands
French girl be ready
to send all your love
to me after the peep, oh yea

I'm sad
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
you're hiding in your world of dreams
for not to see the truth
you close your eyes it's easy then
you don't need to decide
we talked about it, you said I'm right
so why did nothing change?
I try to help you but you don't let me
you just let it go by
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
so open up your eyes and try to
see what way to go
to do nothing can not protect you
from causing a big pain
where is all our easyness
I can't believe it's gone
so come on girl and take it easy
complexity should leave
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad bout the way you act
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
so open up your eyes and try to
see what way to go
to do nothing can not protect you
from causing a big pain
where is all our easyness
I can't believe it's gone
so come on girl and take it easy
complexity should leave
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
I'm sad, because I'm loosing you
much more sad about the way you act
I'm sad, because you're loosing me
much more sad about the way I act
I'm sad, because you're loosing me
much more sad about the way I act

Bar song / Cançó del Bar
Music and Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Translation to Menorquín by Ines Farcher
Oh, all your songs
with words I don't understand
are telling me stories of pain
your guitar speaks the touch of your hand
Oh, all your songs
which travel with me on my ways
are telling me stories of joy
your guitar sings the grace of your face
Oh, ah i ah
why the hell are you so sad?
oh, ah i ah
almost as sad as I am
Oh, all your songs
with words from a secret art
are telling me stories of pain
your guitar sings the song of your heart
Oh, ses teves cançons
amb paraules que no entenc
em conten histories de pena
ta guitarra canta toc de ta má
Totes ses teves cançons
que m'acompanyen a mon camí
em conten histories d'alegria
ta guitarra sona la grácia de ta cara
Uh, ay ay
¿per que será que estás tan trist?
Uh, ay ay
quasi tan trist com jo
Totes ses teves cançons
amb paraules d'un art secret
em conten histories de pena
ta guitarra canta cançons de ton cor
Kum, sing no a Liad
mit Wortn, de i net vasteh,
a Gschicht aus an fremdn Lånd
Dei Gita tuat meim Heaz guat und weh
Kum mei Freind, spül no a Liad,
des i dånn mit hamnehman kånn,
Und wenn dånn amål ganz traurig bin,
ainna i mi darån
Kum, des kånn ja net sein!
Warum is dei Traua so groß?
Oh, bei meina Söl!
Warum nua vasteh i di bloß?
Kum mei Freind, sing no a Liad
aus deina geheiman Wölt
mit Wortn, de i net vasteh
Dei Gita hat mei Heaz net vaföhlt

Black Holes And Sheep
Words and Music by Markus Lorber
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,
8,9,10, and then 11,
Where are all the sheep to count
I need the sleep I have not found
It's just another sleeples night
No sheep to count is anywhere
The only sheep around is me
I stay awake and dream of her
I don't know why I think of her
I've seen her only once, not twice
I even do not know her name
But can't forget about her eyes
It was in a café in Spain
She had the table next to mine
And she was talking with some friends
I read a book and had some wine
But in the moment when she left
Her eyes met mine for a short while
Now this brief szene keeps me awake
I can't forget about her smile
Black holes are all around my head
They curve the space-time of my mind
My thoughts of her cannot escape
Attraction's of the strongest kind
Event horizons must be close
'Cause time is almost standing still
I´d like to see her once again
Although I know I never will
I count the darkness in room
I'm almost at infinity
But every number leads to her
My thoughts are everything but free
But in the moment when she left
Her eyes met mine for a short while
Now this brief szene keeps me awake
I can't forget about her smile
Black holes are all around my head...
It's just another sleeples night
No sheep to count is anywhere
The only sheep around is me
I stay awake and dream of her
I don't know why I think of her
I've seen her only once, not twice
I even do not know her name
But can't forget about her eyes
Black holes are all around my head...
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,
8,9,10, and then 11,
Where are all the sheep to count
I need the sleep I have not found

Bright Blue
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
I don't want to want you
'cause to want can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to want you
I don't want to love you
'cause to love can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to love me
I don't want to feel you
'cause to feel can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to feel you
I don't want to kiss you
'cause to kiss can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to kiss me
Jesus won't you come to me?
Buddha won't you join us, too?
Three of us could sit around by the fire
Jesus won't you come to me?
Buddha won't you join us, too?
Two of you could teach me to loose desire
I don't want to loose you
'cause to loose can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to loose you
I don't want to miss you
'cause to miss can make me blue
I don't want you to want me to miss me
Jesus won't you come to me?
Buddha won't you join us, too?
Three of us could sit around by the fire
Jesus won't you come to me?
Buddha won't you join us, too?
Two of you could teach me to loose desire

Daydream Singer
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
These eyes inside the train
remebered me of love and pain
How far am I away from things like these!
Desire should turn back to me
And through these eyes I want to see
myself being the fool in love disease
I'm a daydream singer
My songs go out for you
I'm a daydream singer
There's hardly something else that I could do
They say she's acting like a child
She never knows how to decide
Instead she's singing songs the whole day long
I say that's just the way she is
And isn't it a great, great bliss
when she comes down to you to sing her songs?
She's a daydream singer
Her songs can ease your mind
She's a daydream singer
The kind of girl that's really hard to find
Politicians, I won't fight for you!
To sing is all I've got to do
I won't believe in any lie you pray!
You may say that's a naiv song
Better naiv than to kill someone
So keep your bombs or blow yourself away!
We are daydream singers
Our songs will do no harm
We are daydream singers
So join us and stop the war-alarm!
These eyes through lunch-time-talks
And after lunch the way she walks
Could these events arise more frequently?
I know one day we'll meet outside
And maybe then we will not hide
But until then I dream of her and me
I'm a daydream singer
And space-time curves for free
I'm a daydream singer
One day she'll solve equations just for me

Die Zeit

Die Zeit bleibt doch für keinen stehn
Sie fliegt fort Jahr für Jahr
Auch wenn wir heut' am Uhrwerk drehn
wird nichts wie 's gestern war
Ein neuer Frühling ist schon nah
Ich kann dein Lächeln sehn
Und dieses neue Sonnenjahr
will ich mit dir begehn
Lächle noch mal
und weine nicht
Erfüll' den Saal
mit deinem Licht

Like the Wind
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
I can give no answer
if you ask me who I am
I even can't respond you
if you ask why we are
If you ask me why I love you
I can`t find a single word
Each word would just pretend
but not express the way I feel
Did you know that Galileo
found four moons 'round Jupiter
And that Marlon Brando
met Pocahontas in one song
These are not the stories
that you long to hear
From me you want the reasons
why I stay with you
Maybe love is like the wind
You can't see it but you feel it
And maybe that's the answer
to a million of things
I can give no answer
If you ask me what love is
I even can't respond you
If you ask me what I want
If you ask me why I'm happy
I can hardly say a word
Each word would just pretend
But not express the way I feel
Did you know the Milky Way
has a Black Hole of its own
And Buddha dated women
before he saw the light
These are not the stories
that you long to hear
From me you want the reasons
why I stay with you
Maybe love is like the wind
You can't see it but you feel it
And maybe that's the answer
to a million of things
I can give no answer
if you ask me who I am
I even can't respond you
if you ask why we are
If you ask me why I love you
I can`t find a single word
Each word would just pretend
but not express the way I feel
Did you know that "Call me Ismael!"
is the start of Moby Dick
And that Melville's Bartleby
wanted just to be
These are not the stories
that you long to hear
From me you want the reasons
why I stay with you
Maybe love is like the wind
You can't see it but you feel it
And maybe that's the answer
to a million of things
Maybe love is like the wind
You can't see it but you feel it
Maybe that's the only answer
to the things we'll never know

I'll Be There
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
A sudden flash, a star is born
A solar system in a well-known form
One living planet, so bright and blue
Ten billion people trying their best to do
Who does know every fear of everyone?
Who is there for them?
In that lost crowd I am lost, too
I thank the stars that I've run into you
Once we've been lovers, once we've been friends
Maybe there's something that will never end
I'll be there if you are the first to leave
I'll be there for you
The universe will call us back
'cause dust is all we are
created in the center of a star
And don't be scared, we've got some time
until we have to leave
And then we'll be prepared, I do believe
A sudden flash, a star is born
A solar system in a well-known form
One living planet, so bright and blue
Ten billion people trying their best to do
Who does know every fear of everyone?
Who is there for them?
In that lost crowd I am lost, too
I thank the stars that I've run into you
Once we've been lovers, once we've been friend
Maybe there's something that will never end
I'll be there if you are the first to leave
I'll be there for you

Night Vision / Close Your Eyes
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
So many stars in my window
They shine for me, why do I know?
And I am not afraid
of that dark night
What was that sound that broke my sleep?
A violent dream that I don't like to keep
Everybody had a secret in a deep, dark hole
And everybody tried to get my soul
But I'm not scared `cause she is there
There in the next room with her grey, old hair
If I called her she'd come in and she would take my hands
'Cause grandma is the one who understands
I smell the tea that she has brought for me
when she came in to turn every light
I hear her say that all stars shine for me
Then one last kiss and grandma said, "Good night!
Close your eyes!"
I think about the day to come
Was there some homework, which I have not done?
Should I worry ´bout the teacher who'll be angry then?
But grandma will protect me, yes she can!
I smell the tea ...
My eyes explore the dark inside
I wonder if I shall turn on the light
Would I see my childhood room where grandma sleeps next door?
Or could it be it does exist no more?
I smell the tea ...
So many stars in my window
They shine for me, yes now I know
And grandma won't come in
she's one of them

Don't Judge God
Vincent Van Gogh: "Man sollte Gott nicht nach dieser Welt beurteilen.
Das war nur ein Versuch, der nicht gelungen ist. Aber es muss ein
Meister sein, der solche Schnitzer macht."
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Some are poor and some are not
Some will never get enough
Some are happy
And some can find no love
Some are pleased with what they do
Some are not aware
And you might ask
why life can be unfair
But don't judge god because of this world
It was just a trial in which he failed
But what a master he must be
who does such a fault
What a master he must be
who does such a fault
What a master he must be
who does such a fault
Some die old and some die young
Some must pass before they're born
Some are lucky
And some live in a storm
Some are watched by everyone
Some are in a love affair
And you might ask
why life can be unfair
But don't judge god because of this world ...
First we've been happier
Then came the doubts
Then came the arguments
Some cruel and some loud
But we must not complain
We gave it a try
Now we know it didn't work
And you might wonder why
And you might ask
why life can be unfair (3x)
But don't judge god because of this world ...
Some are poor and some are not
Some will never get enough
Some are happy
And some can find no love
Some are pleased with what they do
Some are not aware
And you might ask
why life can be unfair
But don't judge god because of this world ...
Look at this world
Look at this world

Being Like Me
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
You've been my lover, you've been my friend
You gave me reasons to understand
You've been my water, fresh from the sky
I drank you daily for not to die
I thought without you I can't survive
I thought without you there will be no life
I think that I've been adicted to you
Without that drug there was nothing to do
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone I am free
Now that you're gone
I have learned, I 've learned to see
Now that you're gone I'm not blind anymore
I am free
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being like me
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being like me
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being like me
So many smiles are smiling for me
I never saw them , you were all I could see
So many eyes, friendly and bright
I never looked back when I was at your side
You were the answer to everithing
You were the princess but I wasn't the king
My love for you was making me blind
Now I can start to leave all this behind
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone I am free ...
You've been my lover, you've been my friend
You gave me reasons to understand
You've been my water, fresh from the sky
I drank you daily for not to die
I thought without you I can't surwife
I thought without you there will be no life
I think that I've been adicted to you
Without that drug there was nothing to do
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone I am free
Now that you're gone
I have learned, I 've learned to see
Now that you're gone I'm not blind anymore
I am free
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being like me
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being like me
Now that you're gone I can start to be
being myself

Stories of a Friend
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Every time you come to me
It's the same you try to say
You don't care if I'm happy
You spoil my sunny day
The same old story once again
You don't care 'bout something new
Acting like a victim
Is the easiest for you
Every time I come to you
It's the same I try to say
I don't care if you are down
I spoil your cloudy day
The same old story once again
I don't care 'bout something new
Pretending to be happy
Is the easiest to do
Can't you see the time has come
We've got to change our styles
If we stayed here we would cry
On the day when we will die
We've got to move on, ohuho
We've got to move on, ohuho
You know we've got to go, ohuho
You know we've got to go, ohuho
Everything is possible
In the state of ignorance
No one ever will return
To the days of innosence
Reaching out for something new
Causes wonders to return
Knowledge that you do not have
Allows frozen heards to burn
Listening to stories of a friend
Gives them a meaning in the end
Listening to stories of a friend
Gives them a meaning in the end

November Rain
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
November rain is falling
On the window pane
An ancient sound is calling
I can hear my name
"I love you, I want you!
Can't you see?
I love you, I want you!
You'll be free!"
Another year is fading
And I can recall
My father's stories
Did he really tell them all?
I love you, dear father
Can you see?
I need you, dear father
Come to me
Oh, how the heat flies
From the candle light
Right into my heart
To brighten up the night
I love you, my dear life
Can't you see
I love you, my dear life
Let me be
Oh, I am happy deep inside
In that dark November night
Oh, I am happy deep inside
In that dark November night
November rain is falling
On the window pane
An ancient sound is calling
I can hear my name
"I love you, I want you!
Can't you see?
I love you, I want you!
You'll be free!"
Another year is fading
And I can recall
My father's stories
Did he really tell them all?
I love you, dear father
Can you see?
I need you, dear father
Come to me

Behind the Words
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
You ask for expectations that I have
of life, of women, finally of you
It's not the case that expectations are not here
But for some reasons I can't find real words
And maybe I would say just what you long to hear
And every word could be a real lie
No expectation but there is one wish I have:
That we will find ourselves behind the words
So long I've been away
Now I'm back on that way
So long I've been away
Now I'm coming to stay
Behind the words we could find you and me
And children that we were and that we are
Wounded thoughts might be there next to happiness
And everything we do not know so far
So long …
Behind the words we'll build a secret world
That nobody will know but you and me
And then we'll see if this creation will resist
the wildest storms that always come
Behind the words, there we will see
Behind the words, there we will see
Behind the words, there we will see
Behind the words, there's you and me

Endlich
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Na, nit jede Liebe verlångt a happy end
Vüle Wundn brauchts, daß ma des akennt
Ohne Endlichkeit hättn wia zwa uns gånz sicha niemåls gsegn
Nåch åndan Dingen hätt ma gstrebt
Und nix mitnånd alebt
Des Wunda mit uns zwa wa niemåls gschegn
No, not every love must have a happy end
Many wounds are needed for that to understand
Without finiteness two of us, for sure we never would have met
For different things, we would have searched
Our worlds wouldn't have been merged
And there would be no wonder with us yet

Total Eclipse
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
The rising moon is full and bright
An eclipse will appear tonight
I take the train
To meet you in that windy march night's rain
A wine bar is no hiding place
Loud laughters can disturb the grace
My wine is red and yours is white
We're leaving side by side
We've got to run to catch the train
Our words fly to a reading man
We reach your place where we can hide
Like the moon does from the light
Here in your silent place
Where we'll spend nights and days
No wonder could cause me to
Go away from you
The moon outside turns red
In a total eclipse
I'm here inside instead
To feel, feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel you
The news told 'bout some wars outside
A hundred people might have died
A truck has hit
A woman who just tried to cross the street
A burning aircraft turned out lifes
A man attacked his wife with knifes
But close to you I can refuse
To think about these news
The world might get a little better
With all the love we make together
The two of us, we try to hide
Like the moon does from the light
Here in your silent place…
I know that you might leave me soon
Life's not as constant as the moon
What will remain for sure will be that tune
Here in your silent place
Where we'll spend nights and days
No wonder could cause me to
Go away from you
The moon outside turns red
In a total eclipse
I'm here inside instead
To feel, feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel your lips
To feel you now

As a Child / Heroes go down fast
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Did you ever sail away
in your bed from your bed-rooms bay
Like Columbus to the new world
bringing Indians their very last days
I, I did it all
as a child
Have you ever been a knight
who fought for freedom and for his rights
who saved a princess and his kingdom
who killed a hundred just in one fight
I, I´ve been it all
as a child
Today my dreams are not heroic
'Cause heroes go down fast
Today I dream of quiet things,
Little things that gonna last
Heroes go down fast
Have you ever been a star
on the stage with an eletric guitar
Just like Hendrix or like Lennon
Stevie Ray Vaughn singing oh-la-la-la.
I, I´ve been them all
as a child
Today my dreams are not heroic
'Cause heroes go down fast
Today I dream of quiet things,
Little things that gonna lastv
Heroes go down fast

Your Journey
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Soon you'll be gone
You 'll be far away
While you'll see stars
The sun will cross my way
I will not wait
'cause there's a lot to do
But I promise
I'll sing some songs for you
Your journey starts, honey,
will you come back to me?
Send my regards, honey,
to everyone you'll see
Send all the best, honey,
to every different land
Just one request to you:
Prevent to make a stand
with your friend
You fly to the east
Where Buddha waits for you
If you'll run into him
Regards to Buddha, too
I'll stay in the west
I'll travel through my mind
To share the places
and the good things you will find
Then one last kiss
You've got to board your flight
Then you take off
I see a fading light
Your journey's over
And you did not return
You've seen a lot, honey
But you did nothing learn
You could have met Buddha
But you just saw your friend
You took her advice, honey
And you just made a stand
in the end

Jealous Friends
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
If I had to give advice
I could not say too much
I'm growing older day by day
without a wisdom's touch
I will not judge your decission to leave me
but why did you talk to someone else but me?
If I had to give advice this one might be for you:
Beware of jealous friends
Maybe others know a lot
they can give fine advice
You can ask them what you want
they know it 'cause they're wise
Do you think that she ment the best for you
when she told you separation 's good for you?
Would she like it if you were much happier than her?
Beware of jealous friends
The sea is still my dear old friend
that listens to my mind
The waves are wispering on and on
that life is not unkind
The sea is blue and so am I
Your picture disappears
Seagulls are riding wild and free
there is no time for fears, so fly my dear

Lullaby / Wiegnliad
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
The sun goes down to disappear
The sky is red, the day stands clear
Close your eyes
and let your dreams begin
forget the troubles we are in
Close your eyes
I wake here at your side
I'll watch your sleep in that last night
And in the end when we're alone
we think about friends we have known
Close your eyes
forget about your fears
you'll laugh about them in some years
Close your eyes
and soon your dreams will start
You've been the owner of my heart
Die Sun steht tiaf, glei is sie fuat
Da Himml leichtet rot wie Bluat
Schliaß die Augn
und fång zum Traman ån
vagiß die Suagn, de ma håm
Schliaß die Augn
du wiast von mia bewåcht
in unsra ållaletztn Nåcht
in unsra ållaletztn Nåcht
Am Ende denk ma dånn allan
ån Leit, de Freinde gwesn san
Schliaß die Augn
vagiß die Ångst, dest håst
Es kummt die Zeit wost wieda låchst
Schliaß die Augn
und tram gånz unbeschweat

mei Heaz håt amål nua dia kehrt

Summer Is Gone (Everyone drinks his own tea)
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Summer is gone and so are you
Now we are free like the wolves in the zoo
Some herbs we've planted are dying of cold
But some will survive and grow old
They'll make up my tea for cold nights in fall
Where I'll dream of you after all
Rosemary and sage, mint and some thyme
Their smell and their taste will be mine
Summer is gone and we are free
And everyone drinks his own tea
Summer is gone, you search again
But cats in the net are hunting in vain
You won't find yourself while you're on the run
Slow down, watch the herbs in the sun
They'll make up your tea for cold nights in fall
Where you'll dream of me after all
Rosemary and sage, mint and some thyme
Their smell and their taste will be fine
Summer is gone and we are free
And everyone drinks his own tea
Oh, I know I have to let you go
But next year another plant will grow
Oh, I know I have to let you go
But next year another plant will grow

Believe
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
If I just knew
how many days I've got left in this world
Then I could start
apologizing to all I have hurt
But I don't know
and he who does not know has to believe
I don't believe
that I will start to talk before I leave
leave this world
You know that I'm a little weak
But you could help me
learning how I learn to speak
You who knows me as I am
that I am not the strongest man
yea, you, you believe in me
you who knows that I can't see
are looking with a smile to me
yea, you, you believe in me
If I just knew
how many songs I'll sing before I die
Then I could start
to write the final one without a lie
But i don't know
and he who does not know has to believe
I don't believe
that I will start to sing before I leave
leave this world
You know that I'm a little weak
But you could help me
learning how I learn to speak
You who knows me as I am
that I am not the strongest man
yea, you, you believe in me
you who knows that I can't see
are looking with a smile to me
yea, you, you believe in me
Oh, I, I believe in you

Honey Burst
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
I lost my Baby, now she is gone
But I'm not sad 'cause there's another one
The new one's singing so much better
She's sighing softly when we play together
Her name is Paula, she is honey burst
My old love often stayed out of tune
And then she used to spoil a fine afternoon
The new one's always in a good mood
She hangs around my shoulder and she feels good
My sweetest Paula, she is honey burst
Of course my old love was a great love of mine
She knew a lot about good kisses and wine
But she could never learn to hang loose
She never got the feeling of a cool blues
Just as my Paula who has got the blues

Licht und Schatten
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Ganz egal wie weit du fliegst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Es ist wie mit deinem Schatten, denn der ist stets bei dir
Bist du dann noch auf der Flucht vom Dunkel rein ins Licht
Bleibst du trotzdem ganz du selbst und bist im Jetzt und Hier
Komm, erlöse dich von deiner stillen Wut
Komm, befreie dich, dann wird so manches gut
Egal wie weit du gehst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Du bist dein eigner Schatten, du bist dein eignes Licht
Ganz ein anderer zu werden, mag verlockend sein
Doch auch andre werden traurig und weinen ab und zu
Komm, verlass dein Schneckenhaus und atme ganz tief ein
Spür die Sonne im Gesicht, dann kommst auch du zur Ruh
Komm, erlöse dich von deiner stillen Wut
Komm, befreie dich, dann wird so manches gut
Egal wie weit du gehst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Du bist dein eigner Schatten, du bist dein eignes Licht
Wir alle sind aus Sternenstaub
Ein Punkt in der Raumzeit
Wir werden bis zum Urknall schaun
Doch noch ists nicht so weit
Bis dahin lernen wir zu leben
Ohne Hass und ohne Neid
Wir lernen uns selbst zu vergeben
Wir lieben ohne Angst von Zeit zu Zeit
Ganz egal wie weit du fliegst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Ganz egal wie weit du fliegst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Ganz egal wie weit du fliegst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
…
Ganz egal wie weit du fliegst, dir selbst entkommst du nicht
Und du bist dein eigner Schatten, doch du bist auch dein Licht
