This road we’ve walked 
This stones we’ve thrown 
Fading, fading away 

This games we’ve played 
This story’s you’ve told 
Fading, fading away 

Take my hand 
Stay with me 
Don’t slide alone 
In this dark Night of your own 

Dark clouds in your head 
Thinking, speaking, walking 
Fading, fading away 

Take my hand 
Stay with me 
Don’t slide alone 
In this dark Night of your own

Days are short and nights are even shorter

You give your best to get the reward

Nights are short and days are even shorter

 

Your breath gets faster and faster

In this life you’ve got no time

Days pass and years pass even more

 

Work to work and work to live

Your pulse gets faster, your pupils narrow

The sea in wich you stay is stormy

 

This is the machine

This is your life

This is the machine

This is your soul

Soaked up in endless raven wings

This ist the machine

This is your death

This ist the machine

This is society

Their machinery
