Grateful success New horizons Endless progress Large steps to the poverty line Acting in vain Hope & knowledge Gruesome disdain A world of creeping misery One step back to the origin of all ancient ways Prevention of instinct rules in ourdays Our children on the step to a better world of decay Our children on the threshold to the progress we obey (to) All the years of glory have long passed by Little child come take my hand, see the secrets of the day Enter the wonderland of rage & lie A new state of wisdom, not a better world of decay How could we watch our dreams burning? A foolished monument remains Still we watch the big wheel turning Unable to turn back the time Today's tomorrow's yesterday And when a year has passed by all will be bright again Sunshine leaves this silent world today The way branches off, secrets will be secrets Don't ask me why we're doin' this I don't even understand A global dream, lived a lifetime long It's falling all to pieces The memories keep memories No more words to say
